A distant neutron star unexpectedly reawakened, unleashing a powerful X-ray surge that may reveal how the universe’s most ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of millions of years, these stars progressively cool down, radiating heat into ...

My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about recent discoveries about Neutron stars focusing on the last few months (as of mid 2024) It's holiday season here in East Asia so I'm spending a ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving ...

For more than 60 years, the High Flux Isotope Reactor has produced neutron beams for the benefit of society, creating real-world impacts that span energy security, quantum computing, healthcare, ...

CC0 Usage Conditions ApplyClick for more information. A bright blast of X-rays from a source in a distant galaxy has led astronomers to a fascinating discovery. Neutron stars are dense stellar objects ...

One of the four missions at DOE’s High Flux Isotope Reactor is neutron scattering, a research technique used to study matter at the atomic scale. These neutrons are produced at HFIR through fission, ...

Chad Hanna receives funding from the National Science Foundation. Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015. This ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...
