During neutron star mergers, this magnetic field can reach values over a billion times higher than the largest magnetic field ever created by humans.

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

Magnetars are neutron stars with the universe's most powerful magnetic fields, often hundreds of trillions of times more powerful than Earth's magnetosphere.

Magnetars are among the universe's most extreme objects - a class of the compact stellar remnants called neutron stars that possess immensely strong magnetic fields. Once in a while, they produce ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

The original magnetic field, when crushed down to match the tiny size of the resulting neutron star, would provide a massive kick to start the magnetar off.

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold across space—all modeled with extreme detail using one of the world’s ...

Discovery of unlikely jets from neutron star forces rethink of space theory SCIENTISTS have discovered a powerful jet emanating from a neutron star and it has forced astronomers to re-examine a ...

Short-lived neutron stars may explain both the extreme magnetic fields of black holes and gamma ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe ...

Scientists studying the mystery behind magnetic stars have found that these magnetic fields seem to form through stellar mergers, when two stars form together, according to a recent study.
