Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars are ...

"Magnetar birth rates and formation scenarios are among the most pressing questions in high-energy astrophysics." ...

Discover new insights into neutron star masses and formation. Learn how recent findings are reshaping astrophysics and ...

Despite their small diameters—about 12.5 miles (20 kilometers)—neutron stars boast nearly 1.5 times the mass of our sun, and are thus incredibly dense. Just a sugar cube of neutron star matter ...

Rutherford also put out the idea that there could be a particle with mass but no charge. He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of ...

In these simulations, they used two neutron star EoSs, two different neutron star masses and three different magnetic field topologies. "The magnetic field is amplified to large values during the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — In a physics first, a team including scientists from the University at Buffalo and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons ...

Most new nuclear fission reactors being built today are of the light water reactor (LWR) type, which use water for neutron moderation into thermal neutrons as well as neutron capture. While ...
