What happens when two neutron stars collide without forming a black hole? Japanese supercomputer simulations reveal how intense turbulence can amplify magnetic fields more than 300-fold in just one millisecond, potentially creating magnetars—some of the most magnetic objects in the universe. These findings offer new clues to the violent origins of these extraordinary stellar remnants. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
