In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into ...

Quasicrystals (QCs) have a unique atomic arrangement that lacks periodicity, giving them unusual symmetries not found in ...

Quasicrystals (QCs) are fascinating solid materials that exhibit an intriguing atomic arrangement. Unlike regular crystals, ...

Previously, long radio bursts were only traced to neutron stars, the dense remnants left after a colossal stellar explosion. But the discovery, described in a study published Wednesday in the ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 million years ago. Kilonovas occur when binary neutron stars spiral closer and ...

Simulations of highly magnetized stars that explode and collapse into black holes show that they transfer their magnetic fields to the disk of swirling matter that forms around the new black hole.

Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born. "Understanding the birth masses of neutron ...

A machine learning method has the potential to revolutionize multi-messenger astronomy. Detecting binary neutron star mergers is a top priority for astronomers. These rare collisions between dense ...

Recently, astronomers have been puzzled by an unknown type of cosmic radio signal. A new breakthrough has finally traced one of them.
