Neutron stars, the collapsed remnants of massive stars, hold the densest matter in the universe. These cosmic objects are ...

The current theory of strong interactions (quantum chromodynamics QCD) predicts that nuclear matter at high density (higher than at the center of the Sun) and high temperature (hotter than at the ...

Researchers are delving into the world of starquakes to understand the densest matter in the universe within neutron stars.

The intense pressure and density within a neutron star’s core ... but scientists predict a phase transition of nuclear matter (which is to say, neutrons) to deconfined quark matter under certain ...

The study of mesons in strong magnetic fields and nuclear matter is a fascinating area of research in theoretical physics, particularly in the context of heavy-ion collisions and the behavior of ...
