"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, ...

A research collaboration between the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams recently ran an experiment that sheds light on the forces holding together atomic nuclei ...

In the final moments before two neutron stars collide, their magnetic fields spiral into chaos, twisting and snapping as they ...

New simulations performed on a NASA supercomputer are providing scientists with the most comprehensive look yet into the ...

NASA supercomputer simulations reveal X-ray and gamma-ray signals emitted in the final milliseconds before neutron star mergers, providing insights for future observatories and gravitational-wave ...

Scientists have detected what they believe to be a neutron star spinning at an unprecedentedly slow rate -- slower than any of the more than 3,000 radio emitting neutron stars measured to date.

You can’t have gold until a nucleus decays. The specifics of that process have been hard to pin down, but UT’s nuclear physicists have published three discoveries in one paper explaining key details.
