Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Astronomers analyzing the gravitational-wave signal from a 2020 collision between a black hole and a neutron star report ...

The discovery of a newborn magnetar inside a distant supernova helps explain why some stellar explosions shine far brighter ...

Because the nuclei involved are extremely rare and short-lived, scientists usually rely on theoretical models rather than ...

A new study explains how some supernovae are particularly dazzling—the glow from a magnetic, spinning ball of neutrons called a magnetar. An assist from Einstein is what settled the case ...

In 2020, astronomers discovered a violent cosmic event that has led them to rethink how extreme pairs of astronomical objects form. These pairs are capable of producing powerful cosmic collisions.

Scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to unlock secrets hidden within the ...

Some of the most extreme explosions in the universe are Type I superluminous supernovae. “They are one of the brightest ...

Gold and other heavy elements are born in some of the universe’s most violent events—but scientists still struggle to understand the nuclear steps that create them. Now, nuclear physicists have ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an ...

Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a neutron star and a black hole merged while travelling in an oval-shaped orbit ...
