Scientists reveal how two unstable nuclei trigger neutron star explosions and power intense X-ray bursts across the universe.

Rocket Lab had its most successful year to date in 2025, with its Electron rocket completing 21 successful flights and the ...

A double blast of dying stars may be the first observed case of a long-hypothesized, never proven “superkilonova.” Although astronomers are still searching for concrete answers, a study published in ...

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

Rocket Lab Corporation (RKLB) is a sell due to persistent negative operating cash flow and high capital intensity. RKLB faces ...

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.

Scientists from several institutions, including the University of Chicago, discovered a lemon-shaped planet with an ...

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission ...

Three years ago, two neutron stars collided in a cataclysmic crash, the first such merger ever observed directly. Naturally, scientists kept their eye on it — and now, something strange is happening.

Neutron stars are the stellar corpses left behind when a massive star goes supernova. They’re unimaginably dense. A tablespoonful of neutron star placed on Earth’s surface would weigh roughly as much ...

Neutrons have a set of unique properties that make them better suited than light, electrons, or x-rays for looking at the physics and chemistry going on inside an object. Scientists working out of MIT ...
