Fast radio bursts, these signals from space, may finally reveal their origin. An international team has identified key clues.

“There are several highly magnetised neutron stars, or magnetars, that are known to exhibit radio pulses with a period of a few seconds,” Northwestern University astrophysicist and study co-author ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a key indicator ...

Indian astronomers have observed an X-ray binary system designated SXP 138. Results of the NuSTAR observations, published ...

Photons cause some of the deuterium to fuse. Unlike earlier attempts, this method produces detectable neutron emissions characteristic of fusion. This isn’t as seductive a proposition as having ...

The origin and the central engine of GRBs have long been pending for identification. Now a joint observation by LEIA and ...

This discovery is important because it helps scientists understand the extreme physics of neutron stars and the behaviour of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — In a physics first, a team including scientists from the University at Buffalo and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons ...

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

If the nucleus has too few neutrons, it will emit a 'package' of ... by one while the mass number remains the same. Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus ...
