NEW YORK, NY – Scientists in New York are using computer simulations to gain a deeper understanding of the explosive behavior of cannibal neutron stars. Neutron stars, some of the densest objects in the universe, are formed when a massive star collapses, leaving behind a small, extremely dense core. When a neutron star pulls material … Read more
