The blast may have been a kilonova — a type of neutron star merger — in the wake of a more traditional supernova.

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ideas about where such effects can occur.

Scientists have precisely measured two unstable atomic nuclei that play a crucial role in explosive X-ray bursts on neutron stars. The results reveal faster nuclear reactions than previously thought, ...

Rantanen scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks. Rantanen had a six-game point streak snapped Wednesday, but he bounced ...
