Binding Energies of Hypertritons Determined

The binding energy and lifetime of hypertriton, a particle that can shed light on the structure of neutron stars, were determined by researchers. The Higgs boson, created by colliding high-energy protons, was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012. [more…]

Gravitational Waves from Dying Stars

According to the simulations, gravitational wave signals from a dying star can be captured. The turbulent jets of particles released when a massive star falls into a black hole are an asymmetrical wave that emits gravitational waves from layers of stellar matter. [more…]
