Neutron star collisions could briefly trap a group of cosmic ghosts

When it comes to “shattering” cosmic ghosts, only the most extreme objects in the universe are up to the task: neutron stars. Scientists have simulated collisions between these extremely dense and dead stars and shown that such powerful events can briefly “trap” neutrinos, also known as “ghost particles.” This discovery could help scientists better understand… Read More »
