Decoding Nuclear Matter: A Two-Dimensional Solution Reveals Neutron Star Secrets
Through US Department of Energy June 29, 2023 In dense nuclear matter, the quarks “line up,” becoming essentially one-dimensional. Calculations that take into account one dimension and time can track how low energy excitations travel through nuclear matter.
