KINGSTON, R.I. - March 6, 2025 - Observations of the merger of binary neutron stars are vital to the growing field multi-messenger astronomy. The collision of these massive star remnants, occurring millions of light years from Earth, emit gravitational waves followed by light. They provide unique opportunities for the study of gravity and matter under extreme conditions, with exciting implications for nuclear physics and cosmology.
