If that's the case, then objects with particularly strong gravitational fields such as black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs might capture and concentrate dark matter. This could in turn ...

By "constraining dark matter," Chakrabarti means limiting the possible properties and characteristics of dark matter. As more neutron star data is collected, the gravitational acceleration measurement ...

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

Just a sugar cube of neutron star matter would weigh about one hundred million tons on Earth. A neutron star's almost incomprehensible density causes protons and electrons to combine into neutrons ...

From conformal field theory, it had previously been suggested that the speed of sound in a neutron star, traveling as compressed waves, had a maximum of c/√3 in strongly interacting QCD matter ...

The new Neutron rocket includes a "hippo" mouth fairing that deploys upper stages by spitting them out from inside. The private space company Rocket Lab is on track to launch the first of its new ...

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 ...

"However, the amount of mass that ends up in the neutron star is subject to complex explosion dynamics (e.g., matter can still fall onto the neutron star while the explosion is already developing)." ...

Neutron reflectometry is a powerful analytical technique used to study the structure and composition of thin films, multilayers, and interfaces at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of ...

"We are able to measure the local dark matter density using direct acceleration measurements for the first time." Dark matter, widely known as the universe's most mysterious stuff, is rarer on ...
