During the collision of binary neutron stars, hot neutrinos can become briefly stuck at the interface, leaving them out of equilibrium with the cold cores of the merging stars for 2 to 3 milliseconds. This interaction helps drive the particles toward equilibrium and provides new insights into the physics of such mergers. Credit: SciTechDaily.com New … Read more
