Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova explosion, have often been the focus of studies aimed at testing and unveiling exotic physics. This is because these stars are among the ...

Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe. They are the core of a collapsed megastar that went supernova, have a typical radius of 10 km—just slightly more than the altitude of Mt.

Much of the search for dark matter—the invisible substance comprising 80 percent of all the mass in the cosmos—has focused on one type: weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). However, there’s ...

When neutron stars collide, they likely create the densest form of matter in the present-day Universe. Through an innovative use of two theoretical methods, researchers have now gained a more detailed ...
