Researchers using NASA's NICER X-ray telescope discovered a neutron star spinning 716 times per second, making it one of the ...

"Very little is known about what causes the formation of magnetars," researcher Kritti Sharma said. "Our work helps to answer this question." ...

Physicists have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large clouds around neutron stars. These axions could form an explanation for the elusive dark matter that ...

Engineers can control the reaction by inserting rods made out of a substance that absorbs neutrons, which slows or stops the chain reaction. On Dec. 2, 1942, a group of 49 scientists gathered to ...

Scientists think it's possible that shrouds of hypothetical particles called "axions" could surround extreme, dead stars called "neutron stars." If true, this could bring us one step closer to ...
