The blast may have been a kilonova — a type of neutron star merger — in the wake of a more traditional supernova.

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

Researchers co-led a study that will improve the detection of gravitational waves--ripples in space and time. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering ...

Is nature really as strange as quantum theory says -- or are there simpler explanations? New neutron measurements prove: It doesn't work without the strange properties of quantum theory. Can a ...
