See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

What would happen if you put a baseball-sized piece of neutron star on the Earth? Would it fall to the core of the Earth and ...

Advanced supercomputer simulations show that as a black hole consumes a neutron star, intense gravitational forces crack the neutron star’s crust, generating Alfvén waves and radio bursts.

Hunting for dark matter, the invisible substance thought to account for 85 percent of all matter in the cosmos, isn't easy. If it interacts with light at all, it does so incredibly weakly. Still, we ...

The above snapshot from the team’s simulation shows magnetized outflows of plasma that are launched outward from a black hole after the merger with a neutron star. As the black hole’s gravity ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Neutron stars are among the most powerful and mysterious objects in the universe. Born from the explosive deaths of massive stars in supernovae, these dense stellar remnants pack more mass than our ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

A repeating radio burst every 2 hours from Ursa Major reveals a unique white dwarf–red dwarf system, shaking up theories in ...

Neutron stars can continuously emit gravitational waves 6, which reveal structural properties such as their ellipticities and crustal deformations, as well as their equations of state.
