A research team led by McGill identifies neutron stars as the likely source of fast radio bursts, one of the universe's most ...

In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period ...

“There’s been a lot of debate about whether this bright radio emission could even escape from that extreme plasma.” “Around these highly magnetic neutron stars, also known as magneta ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed ...

The new Neutron rocket includes a "hippo" mouth fairing that deploys upper stages by spitting them out from inside. The private space company Rocket Lab is on track to launch the first of its new ...

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

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 ...

The emission of beta radiation provides evidence that neutrons and protons are made up of quarks. Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton.
