He published his findings with characteristic modesty in a first paper entitled "Possible Existence of Neutron." In 1935 he received the Nobel Prize for his discovery.

In 1932, another British physicist, James Chadwick, discovered the neutron, another particle located within the nucleus. With the electron, proton, and neutron, scientists thought they had found ...

Scientists have discovered an astronomical object that has never been observed before. It is more massive than collapsed stars, known as "neutron stars", but has less mass than black holes.

Researchers have discovered that the neutron star in the binary system 4U 1820-30 rotates at an astonishing speed of 716 ...

The neutron plays a fundamental role in the universe and its discovery was at the heart of developments in nuclear physics in the first half of the 20th Century. Prof Val Gibson tells Melvyn Bragg ...

The newly found object is heavier than all known neutron stars but is lighter than the smallest black holes, leading researchers to believe it could be an example of a never-before-discovered ...

An international team of scientists have discovered a strange radio emitting neutron star, which rotates extremely slowly, completing one rotation every 76 seconds. The source was initially found from ...

This discovery, says a team led by astrophysicist Gaurava Jaisawal of the Technical University of Denmark, affirms the current theoretical upper limit for neutron star spin speeds, thought to be ...

To address these problems, the CLAS12 collaboration utilized the Central Neutron Detector, which was developed at France’s ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other ...
