Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University ...

A neutron star’s density is mind-boggling. These stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed together in a tiny radius. Just a teaspoonful of this material would weigh over a trillion ...

Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. Their crust is far stronger than any material on Earth and a spoonful of this matter is heavier than a mountain. Talking about ...

This was possible thanks to an effect of gravity described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars and are one of the most exotic objects in the Universe ...

"In these environments of neutron stars, the magnetic fields are really at the limits of what the universe can produce." Fireworks are likely dying down in your neighborhood as New Year's ...

"Leveraging this understanding, we then solved the differential equations describing the balance of forces between the QCD axion field, nuclear matter, and gravity within a neutron star ...

Neutron stars, the dense remains of massive stars that have exploded in supernovae, are some of the most fascinating objects ...
