A state of matter last seen just after the Big Bang may exist inside neutron stars — and scientists think they can prove it
As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and ...
Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...
Bulging waves: artist’s impression of the gravitational waves given off by the merger of two supermassive black holes. ESA’s LISA space mission may be able to detect evidence of tidal distortions in ...
Physicists have used interferometry to detect the minute tidal forces acting on individual atoms exposed to a local gravitational field. This allowed them to measure the curvature of space–time on a ...
A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...
In February 2016, an international team of physicists announced the first direct observation of gravitational waves. The waves had been produced by the gigantic collision of a pair of black holes, ...
Black holes are some of the strangest, most wondrous objects in all the Universe. With huge amounts of mass concentrated into an extremely small volume, they inevitably collapse down to singularities, ...
