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 ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a few ...

A neutron star is a highly dense remnant of a massive star, composed primarily of neutrons due to extreme gravitational pressure. A tablespoon of neutron star material would possess a mass exceeding 1 ...

Neutron stars that crash together in space forge valuable metals like silver, gold, and platinum. Some heavy periodic elements may be created almost exclusively by such cosmic crashes. Europium, one ...

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 ...
