The magnetic field of a pulsar captures ejected particles and then flings them away as the neutron star rotates. These particles, dispersing as "stellar wind," also carry away angular momentum, ...

A team of researchers led by Colorado State University graduate student Luke Wernert and Associate Professor Hua Chen has ...

This phenomenon is called "magnetic braking," the process by which a star loses angular momentum (rotational ... particularly a rotating neutron star (like a pulsar), slows down its rotation ...

These efforts resulted in Bohr introducing two more quantum numbers 3: an azimuthal quantum number, which represented the magnitude of the electron’s angular momentum; and the magnetic quantum ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Rumors have floated recently that Rocket Lab's much-awaited mid-2025 Neutron rocket launch won't in fact happen in 2025 at all. Rocket Lab's Q4 earnings report, however, may have laid those rumors ...

NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) has unveiled its S32K5 series of automotive microcontrollers, the first to feature 16nm ...

Neutron activation of gold nanoparticles enables visualization of drug distribution in mice. (Nanowerk News) Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have unique chemical and biological properties. Due to their ...

In mid-March 2025, a rumor spread that U.S. President Donald Trump compared Tesla CEO Elon Musk to "a modern-day Isaac Neutron." Social media posts shared audio that implied Trump mispronounced ...

That wobble is due to the influence of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies, like the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and rapidly rotating neutron stars, or "pulsars." Fascinatingly, pulsars act like ...

The report claims Rocket Lab's mid-2025 launch target for Neutron is unrealistic, with industry experts suggesting delays of one to two years. It also raises concerns about engine development ...
