Added 1 new A* page:Apr 13, 2012: "Neutron Soup" --Pulsar Creates New Alien State of Matter - "The dense core of a nearby collapsed neutron star is undergoing a rapid chill, providing the first direct evidence that the cores of such stars are so dense that atomic nuclei dissolve, and protons and electrons combine to form a soup dominated by neutrons – a state of matter that cannot be created in laboratories on Earth. If conditions are right, these neutrons ought to be able to pair up to form a superfluid – a substance with quantum properties that mean it flows with zero friction."
