Neutron star mergers are among the most extreme events in the Universe. A recent simulation shows that the cataclysm begins well in advance. Indeed, a chaotic ballet of their magnetic fields ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...

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

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

The transformation of neutrinos in a neutron star merger could be crucial to shaping the way events of the collision unfold. For the first time, a team of physicists has simulated how neutrinos change ...
