Follow-up observations of a recent short-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) provide the strongest evidence yet that these elusive bursts result from the merger of two neutron stars. The evidence is in the...
Read article 'Do fast radio bursts signal black-hole formation?'
Astronomers using the 64-m Parkes radio telescope in Australia have detected radio transients with a duration of only 4 ms. These fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a recently discovered class of myste...
Read article 'Surprising studies in multiplicity'
One of the key ways of looking into what happens when high-energy hadrons collide is to measure the relationship between the number, or multiplicity, of particles produced and their momentum transvers...
