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

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 ...

Astronomers have discovered ten strange dead stars, or "neutron stars," lurking near the heart of the Milky Way. These weirdo neutron stars are also spinning, meaning they are "pulsars." Scientists ...

A dead star 27,400 light-years away appears to be having one of the most epic stellar discos we've ever seen. This discovery, says a team led by astrophysicist Gaurava Jaisawal of the Technical ...

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, ...

For decades, nuclear physicists believed that "Islands of Inversion"—regions where the normal rules of nuclear structure ...

In a stunning new discovery, researchers at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have uncovered a mysterious “bump” in the ...

On Oct. 16, astronomers announced that they had viewed a cosmic event, the collision of two neutron stars, through both light and gravitational waves. Over a thousand scientists working with LIGO, the ...

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 ...
