It's been more than 30 years since my last physics class and I am starting to re-learn what I had long since forgotten about cyclotron and synchotron radiation ... which started me wondering "What ...

Most people interpret radiation as a bad thing—but it isn’t always. In fact, radiation is a very normal phenomenon. For now, let’s just say that radiation is when an object produces energy. When a ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of atomic nuclei, and they possess some of the strongest gravitational fields of ...

A new theoretical framework shows that tidal forces in inspiraling neutron star pairs can be described through oscillation modes, opening a new path to studying ultra-dense matter using gravitational ...

Recently, Dr. Huo Zhipeng and his student Lu Yidong from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences have created a new type of composite material for shielding against neutron ...
