| Abstract | Mergers of neutron stars and pairs of supermassive black holes are among the most energetic events in the universe. They can produce gravitational waves, bright flashes of light, and fast jets; neutron-star mergers can also create heavy elements found in planets and living things. Scientists use large computer simulations to understand the hot, magnetized gas around these objects, but many current simulations treat that gas as a perfect electrical conductor. This simplification makes magnetic-fi |
