Neutron stars are incredibly dense, city-sized remnants of massive stars. They form after a supernova when gravity overcomes electron degeneracy pressure. Some neutron stars, called pulsars, emit ...

How long do free neutrons live until they decay? This has been a hotly debated topic, because different measurement techniques lead to different results. A possible new solution has now been proposed: ...

When a massive star dies in a supernova, the explosion is only the beginning of the end. Most of the stellar matter is thrown far and wide, but the star’s iron-filled heart remains behind. This core ...
