the collapsed remnants of burned-out stars, and it produces mind-boggling densities—one teaspoon of such material weighs several hundred billion kilograms.
black holes are even denser, but they are certainly far from normal. In fact, scientists believe that the strongest material in the Universe, referred to as “nuclear pasta,” can be found deep inside the crust ofneutron stars.
Carbon nanotubes' outstanding mechanical, electrical and thermal properties make them an alluring material to electronics manufacturers. However, until recently scientists believed that growing the high density of tiny graphene cylinders needed for many microelectronics applications would be difficult. Now a ...
suggesting that the violent collisions of heavy ions at the LHC were smaller cousins of the Big Bang explosion that ushered in the visible universe some 14 billion years ago. Indeed, the conditions of the mini-fireballs at LHC resemble theearly universeas it was only microseconds...
