The transformation of neutrinos in a neutron star merger could be crucial to shaping the way events of the collision unfold. For the first time, a team of physicists has simulated how neutrinos change ...

A recent study led by researchers from Louisiana State University and Columbia University revealed that gigantic explosions from magnetars could be responsible for creating up to 10% of the elements ...

In an ejection that would have caused its rotation to slow, a magnetar is depicted losing material into space in this artist’s concept. The magnetar’s strong, twisted magnetic field lines (shown in ...
