Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons. They form when the core of a large star collapses, and the weight of gravity causes atoms to collapse. Electrons ...

Quark nugget dark matter models propose that dark matter may consist of macroscopic objects formed from bound collections of quarks in a stable configuration. These models, which include variants such ...

Ground-based radio telescopes, gravitational wave detectors, and a space-based X-ray telescope (right) all measure neutron stars (top left, shown merging), lending insight into the pairing of ...

Quark matter may join solid, liquids, gases, and plasmas as a newly-understood state of matter. Far from being exotic, a new study suggests that quark matter could make up a large percentage of the ...

Dec. 14, 2006 — According to the “Strange Matter Hypothesis,” which gained popularity in the paranormal 1980’s, nuclear matter, too, can be strange. The hypothesis suggests that small conglomerations ...

Neutron stars are one of the strangest objects in the universe—so strange that scientist can only guess what’s going on inside them. A new study from an international team of scientists estimates that ...

The CMS Collaboration investigated in detail events in which a top quark and an anti‑top quark are produced together in high‑energy proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using the full 138 fb⁻¹ ...

When neutron stars dance together, the grand smash finale they experience might create the densest known form of matter known in the Universe. It’s called “quark matter, ” a highly weird combo of ...
