A method to take snapshots of exploding nuclei could hold clues about the fundamental properties of gold, uranium and other ...

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...

Astrophysicists have, for the first time, measured the temperature of elementary particles in the radioactive afterglow of a neutron star collision, which led to the formation of a black hole. This br ...
