Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...

A group of scientists at the Goethe University Frankfurt recently published two articles about their work on determining the internal structure of neutron stars. The papers can be found in the ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

An experiment more than 10 years in the making has delivered its first glimpse of the hurricane of particles whirring inside subatomic particles called neutrons, laying the groundwork to solve a ...

FRANKFURT. So far, little is known about the interior of neutron stars, those extremely compact objects that can form after the death of a star: the mass of our sun or even more is compressed into a ...

AMES, Iowa – James Vary has been waiting for nuclear physics experiments to confirm the reality of a “tetraneutron” that he and his colleagues theorized, predicted and first announced during a ...

An international research team has measured neutron form factors with previously unattained precision. All known atomic nuclei and therefore almost all visible matter consists of protons and neutrons, ...
