Physics - Neutron Pairs Condense in Excited Helium-8

Scattering experiments show that the four extra neutrons in helium-8 can pair up and form a nuclear analog of a Bose-Einstein condensate.

Alpha particles lurk at the surface of neutron-rich nuclei

 E-Mail Scientists from an international collaboration have found evidence of alpha particles at the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei, providing new insights into the structure of neutron stars, as well as the process of alpha decay. Neutron stars are amongst the most mysterious objects in our universe. They contain extremely dense matter that is radically different from the ordinary matter surrounding us being composed almost entirely of neutrons rather than atoms. However, in the nucleus at the center of normal atoms, matter exists at similar densities. Understanding the nature of matter at such extremes is important for our understanding of neutron stars, as well as the beginning, workings, and final fate of the universe, says Junki Tanaka, one of the leaders of the study.
