Collisions between neutron stars could temporarily trap a host of cosmic ghosts

When it comes to ‘wiping out’ cosmic ghosts, only the most extreme objects in the universe are capable of doing so: neutron stars. Scientists have run simulations of collisions between these ultra-dense and dead stars, showing that such powerful events can briefly “capture” neutrinos, also known as “ghost particles.” The discovery could help scientists better … Read more
