Underknown Exploring the scenario of falling into a black neutron star Posted: February 20, 2026 | Last updated: February 20, 2026 A dark, mysterious object has appeared at the outer edges of our ...

A new simulation created using a NASA supercomputer has shown how things get messy for merging neutron stars even before they slam together; their magnetospheres, the most powerful magnetic fields in ...

Using a novel simulation model based on machine learning, an international research team at GSI/FAIR has succeeded in gaining a deeper understanding of element formation in stellar events such as ...

Researchers have created an AI-based simulation that makes it much faster to model how neutron star mergers produce many of the universe's heaviest elements. The new tool could improve predictions of ...

The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, and modeled potentially observable high-energy signals." When you purchase ...
