A rapidly spinning neutron star that sweeps beams of radiation across the universe like a cosmic lighthouse has been discovered by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Remote Sensing Division intern ...
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 ...
University of Leicester scientists involved in international discovery of neutron star “anti-glitch” using NASA’s Swift satellite. University of Leicester astronomers have contributed to an ...
UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...
Astronomers have discovered 21 "one in a million" binary systems in which sun-like stars orbit a hidden "dead star," an extreme dense and compact object called a neutron star. One of the neutron stars ...
A new breakthrough in gravitational wave research is challenging long-standing assumptions about how these signals behave.
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 ...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Flux Isotope Reactor operates under strict safety standards with skilled teams who ...
For more than 60 years, the High Flux Isotope Reactor has produced neutron beams for the benefit of society, creating ...
Gold holds incredible value in the markets of our world. But have you ever stopped to wonder where it comes from?
