Shoujun Wang does research on high energy density laser-created plasma physics at Colorado State University’s Laboratory for Advanced Lasers and Extreme Photonics. A research team led by Colorado ...

A rare state of matter dubbed "nuclear pasta" appears to exist only inside ultra-dense objects called neutron stars, astronomers say. There, the nuclei of atoms get crammed together so tightly that ...

New models of neutron stars show that their tallest mountains may be only fractions of millimeters high, due to the huge gravity on the ultra-dense objects. New models of neutron stars show that their ...

Two newly spotted objects in space are emitting regular pulses of radio waves—unlike anything astronomers have seen before. An extreme type of star called an ultra-long period magnetar may be the ...
