How neutron stars ‘playing cool’ can unlock exotic physics

a blazing blue ball of light bordered in white, with red/pink poles. Blue loops of light shoot out and back in large arches in dusty space.

Scientists have discovered that there are three neutron starsborn in the fires of other exploding stars, have cooled surprisingly quickly, bringing us closer to understanding the exotic nature of the matter in the cores of these extreme objects. The discovery was made by a Spanish team led by Alessio Marino from the Institute of Space … Read more

New simulations reveal hot neutrinos trapped during collisions with neutron stars

This article was reviewed according to Science fact checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread OK! Volume representation of the density in a simulation of a binary neutron star merger. New research shows that neutrinos created in the hot interface between merging stars can be briefly trapped and remain out of equilibrium with the cold cores … Read more

Dark matter decoded: how neutron stars could solve the universe’s greatest mystery

SciTechDaily

A recent study from the ARC Center of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics suggests that neutron stars could play a crucial role in understanding dark matter. The study found that when dark matter particles collide into neutron stars, they can quickly heat these stars, potentially making them observable with future astronomical technologies. This rapid … Read more
