A recent Physical Review Letters study presents a new model for quark star merger ejecta that could resolve whether these ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how ...

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of ...

Neutron star collisions are known to be factories in which heavy elements are produced. The fusion that takes place inside stellar cores can only produce elements up to iron; the r-process, or ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...

When you think of telescopes in space, you probably think of the Hubble Space Telescope and its younger, larger sibling, the ...

LIGO's 2015 detection confirmed Einstein's theory and sparked a decade of data. Upgraded LIGOs now detect black hole mergers every three days with precision. New 2025 findings confirmed Hawking’s ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...
