June was filled with joy and gratitude—from winning journalism awards to celebrating meaningful time with family in New York ...

So if we find pulsars in the 800 Hz or higher range, we know they likely contain quark matter in their cores. Another way to test the hybrid neutron star model would be to find more millisecond ...

It’s called “quark matter, ” a highly weird combo of liberated quarks and gluons. It’s unclear if the stuff existed in their cores before the end of their dance. However, in the wild aftermath a ...

When neutron stars collide, they likely create the densest form of matter in the present-day Universe. Through an innovative use of two theoretical methods, researchers have now gained a more detailed ...

Scientists have reported that the insides of most massive neutron stars is most likely made of an unusual state of matter called quark matter. June 16, 2025 e-Paper. LOGIN Account.

This state of matter, known as “cold quark matter,” can likely only exist in the cores of these immensely dense objects. Nothing inspires stellar awe quite like a neutron star.

Neutron stars may contain free quarks. From an astrophysical perspective, the possibility of deconfined quark matter existing in neutron star cores raises a whole host of intriguing new questions, ...

New theoretical analysis places the likelihood of massive neutron stars hiding cores of deconfined quark matter between 80 and 90 percent. The result was reached through massive supercomputer runs ...

Gravitational waves could indicate transition to strange quark matter Gravitational waves could reveal whether the quark soup that existed in the early Universe is created in neutron-star mergers ...
