Collisions between neutron stars can briefly trap a bunch of cosmic ghosts

When it comes to “eradicating” cosmic ghosts, perhaps only the most extreme objects in the universe are up to the task: neutron stars. Scientists have run simulations of collisions between these ultra-dense and dead stars, showing that such powerful events may be able to briefly ‘capture’ neutrinos, also known as ‘ghost particles’. The discovery could … Read more
