Neutron stars are covered with "mountains" only fractions of a millimeter tall, new research shows, meaning these bumps are hundreds of times smaller than previous estimates had suggested. Now, new ...

Federal facilities that offer neutron beams for U.S. industry play an outsized role in bringing new goods to market more quickly and cost-effectively, according to an analysis of neutron science's ...

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

NASA's Hubble Telescope sees a flash of light 10 times brighter than expected... what was it? Perhaps the birth of a magnetar. Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one ...

Cram the Sun into the diameter of a city, then do the same to a second star, and now have them clash. When this happens in the cosmos, reverberations in the fabric of space-time carry throughout the ...

Neutrons have a huge amount of potential to advance science in various fields. To produce the free neutrons needed for scientific experimentation, a new facility is being constructed in Sweden. The ...

(Inside Science) — Exactly how long a neutron lives is currently under debate. Now researchers suggest this mystery could be solved if neutrons sometimes decay into particles of dark matter, the ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ...

Like a dried-up lemon from the back of the fridge, neutron stars are less squeezable than expected, physicists report. New measurements of the most massive known neutron star find that it has a ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...

To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can 'live' outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing the existence of a right-handed version of our ...
