Robert Fisher and Cal Jordan are among a team of scientists who will expend 22 million computational hours during the next year on one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, simulating an event ...

Sparse halos of neutrinos within the hearts of exploding stars exert a previously unrecognized influence on the physics of the explosion and may alter which elements can be forged by these violent ...

The collision of two neutron stars around 130 million light-years from Earth, and the unique physics this merger created, may have shed new light on dark matter. Axions have never been directly ...

Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove for new physics signals, with implications for determining the true nature of dark matter, according to physicists. Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove ...

Stars are born in clouds of gas and dust, making it difficult to observe their early development. But researchers at Chalmers have now succeeded in simulating how a star with the mass of the sun ...

We’ve never seen a TDE in the Milky Way, but we’ve seen them in distant galaxies. If you track the motion of individual stars in the ultra-dense star cluster at the very center of the Milky Way you’ll ...

The new simulations show a cross section of the star and its surrounding disk of gas. In the left image, where the young star is weakly magnetized, gas can be seen flowing freely from the surrounding ...
