How neutrinos are formed? The subatomic particles Subatomic particles Let’s take a quick recap of the three basic subatomic particles that we all know. Electrons are negatively charged particles. Protons are positively charged particles. Neutrons are neutral. In any atom, protons and neutrons reside...
A possible evolutionary history of neutron stars is delineated, ranging from star formation through supernova explosions, X-ray and pulsar stages to an eventual pulsar turnoff via spin alignment, or magnetic field decay. New is the emphasis that there should be two populations of pulsars, the ...

Deuterium, on the other hand, is composed of one proton, one electron, and one neutron. What element is deuterium? Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe. Whereas all isotopes of hydrogen have one proton, deuterium also has one neutron and ...
While we’ve suspected neutron stars to be key to producing these elements in space, that hypothesis now looks a whole lot more convincing. Indeed, the kilonova that formed from the embers of GW170817 could have produced as much gold as the entire mass of the Earth – that is ...
When you look at the night sky, you can see that some stars are brighter than others as shown in this image of Orion. luminosity- how much energy it puts out in a given time distance- how far it is from us A searchlight puts out more light than a penlight. That is, the searchlight...

"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" turned 40 last year. What are you really proud of now, when it comes to that song? As soon as it comes on the radio, over a sound system at a festival or anywhere, there’s an instant reaction from the crowd or the listener. Sonically, the bass...
