The ultra-dense remains of the galaxy's youngest supernova are full of bizarre quantum matter. Two new studies show for the first time that the core of the neutron star Cassiopeia A, is a superfluid, ...

Cool stuff: an experiment done by Samuli Autti (right) and colleagues at Lancaster University has shed new light on the mechanical properties of superfluid helium-3. (Courtesy: Mike Thompson) For the ...

The discovery of the rapid decline in the temperature of an ultra-dense star has provided the first evidence for a bizarre state of matter in the core of a star. Two independent research teams have ...
