The logic behind the researchers’ approach was straightforward. If scalar particles interact strongly with nucleons, neutron ...

Neutron stars are incredibly dense, city-sized remnants of massive stars. They form after a supernova when gravity overcomes electron degeneracy pressure. Some neutron stars, called pulsars, emit ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a few ...

A neutron star is a highly dense remnant of a massive star, composed primarily of neutrons due to extreme gravitational pressure. A tablespoon of neutron star material would possess a mass exceeding 1 ...

Astronomers witnessed for the first time ever a rare collision of two dense neutron stars. The discovery began with an instrument called LIGO, which won this year’s Nobel Prize for its discovery of ...

Quantum computing and neutron star physics are converging on the same hard problem: how to describe matter when gravity and ...

An international team of astronomers has concluded that when it comes to theories about colliding neutron stars, Einstein got it right. Everybody else, not so much. A neutron star is what's left when ...

Dubbed the Hungry Hippo, Neutron’s fairing halves remain attached to the rocket’s first stage throughout launch and landing back to Earth – a world-first for a reusable commercial rocket. Whereas ...

Overall, it has been quite a ride for the company founded nearly two decades ago in New Zealand by Peter Beck. A new book ...
