The logic behind the researchers’ approach was straightforward. If scalar particles interact strongly with nucleons, neutron ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...

A team of astrophysicists recently used new models of neutron stars to map the mountains—tiny raised areas—on the stars’ otherwise perfectly spherical structures. They found that the greatest ...

Artist's depiction of a neutron star. (Credit: ESO / L. Calçada) (CN) — The tallest mountains on neutron stars may be only fractions of a millimeter high, according to new data released by researchers ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...
