A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Two of the universe’s most extreme objects—black holes and neutron stars—can spiral into cosmic collisions that crack crusts, ...

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

The magnetic field that threads through our galaxy is millions of times weaker than a refrigerator magnet, but it nevertheless is a guiding force for matter in the interstellar medium.

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

A 2D slice of the world's largest turbulence simulation, revealing the fractal structure of the density, shown in yellow, black and red, and magnetic field, shown in white.

How the universe got its large magnetic fields has remained one of the stickiest outstanding problems in astrophysics. Now, researchers have proposed a novel solution: a giant "dust battery ...
