Collision of Two Neutron Stars Billions of Years Ago Made Enough Gold and Uranium To Fill Earth's Oceans, Says Study Billions of years ago, deep down in the cosmos, two neutron stars began their ...

When the remnants of two stars collide, their union can launch a dazzling jet of high energy matter. A new computer simulation reveals how the merger, which forms a black hole, emits that bright beam, ...

XRISM found a slow, thick wind from a neutron star, pointing to temperature as the key driver of cosmic wind behavior. The ...

Astronomers observed one of the fastest-spinning objects ever seen in the universe - and it is a neutron star. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), made the observation in ...

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 ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars are the leftover cores of exploded stars and the densest known material in the ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

The celestial remnant that lingers after two neutron stars merge isn't like either of its parents. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works ...

Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings ...
