UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...
A new study showing how the explosion of a stripped massive star in a supernova can lead to the formation of a heavy neutron star or a light black hole resolves one of the most challenging puzzles to ...
Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...
