A novel way to find aliens might be through gravitational wave detection, Loeb says. He is interested in laser interferometry ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around ... With no outward pressure from fusion to counterbalance gravity's inward pull, the star condenses and collapses in upon itself.

Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

At the bottom of the ocean, evidence of what researchers are calling a “supernova graveyard” has been discovered. But what ...

A machine learning method has the potential to revolutionize multi-messenger astronomy. Detecting binary neutron star mergers ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 million years ago. Kilonovas occur when binary neutron stars spiral closer and ...

Spinning neutron stars, that are dense enough ... a unified theory - which would combine the mathematical concept of gravity with the other three fundamental forces of nature: the strong force ...
