When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

The new Neutron rocket includes a "hippo" mouth fairing that deploys upper stages by spitting them out from inside.

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars ...

They ran a neutron production system for 1,250 hours using a 1.7-megawatt proton beam. This feat was accomplished using Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a powerful research facility that uses ...

A research team led by McGill identifies neutron stars as the likely source of fast radio bursts, one of the universe's most ...

Despite their small diameters—about 12.5 miles (20 kilometers)—neutron stars boast nearly 1.5 times the mass of our sun, and are thus incredibly dense. Just a sugar cube of neutron star matter ...

His experiments were successful. He was able to determine that the neutron did exist and that its mass was about 0.1 percent more than the proton's. He published his findings with characteristic ...

The companion star in this system has a mass that is 1.174 solar masses (M ⊙), which is significantly lower than that of other known neutron stars with accurately measured masses. The nature of ...
