Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving astronomers scrambling to explain what could drive such a violent change.

The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

Quantum computing and neutron star physics are converging on the same hard problem: how to describe matter when gravity and quantum mechanics both refuse to stay in the background. Researchers are ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to chart the isospin density of a neutron star over a range of conditions. This illustration depicts isospin-dense ...
