"Rapidly-Cooling Neutron Stars May Reveal Exotic Physics"
Scientists have discovered three neutron stars that have cooled unusually quickly, providing significant insights into the exotic matter within their cores. This finding, made using European and American space telescopes, has allowed researchers to rule out three-quarters of the possible models for the neutron star equation of state. The rapid cooling is attributed to neutrino emission, and the results could help bridge the gap between quantum effects and high-gravity physics.
