Understanding what’s going on at the core of a neutron star would also help explain what’s going on outside as well — namely, with its magnetic field. Originally, theorists believed that the magnetic ...

All around us are elements forged in stars, from the nickel and copper in coins to the gold and silver in jewelry. Scientists ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the mass of our sun into a small volume. Models predict that neutron stars are ...

Science popularizer Angel Molina, an expert in astronomy and astrophotography, explained on his TikTok channel what a ...

In this video I show you what happens when you try to get close to 1 drop of a neutron star. I tell you how a neutron star is ...

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...

Neutron stars aren’t just notable for the valuable elements they create, though. They’re also a dream come true for physicists. From their crushing gravity to the universe’s strongest magnetic fields, ...
