The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, ...

New simulations show that neutrino flavor transformations change both the composition and the signals left behind after neutron star collisions. When two neutron stars collide and merge, the result is ...

Neutron star collisions are known to be factories in which heavy elements are produced. The fusion that takes place inside ...

A discovery involving researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has, for the first time, revealed millisecond ...

Simulations reveal that the mixing of neutrinos, during the collision of neutron stars, significantly alters how their merger ...

LIGO observatory near Richland confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity, it also has proven one of Hawking’s theorems.

An artistic illustration of the magnetar and the gamma-ray burst jet in this work (Illustration: Yuja Tian and Yuting Wu, ...

Researchers have spent ten years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes, and now the science is precise enough to test one of Stephen Hawking's key ...
