"NUCLEAR PASTE " THE STRONGEST MATERIAL IN THE UNIVERSE.

in #news6 years ago (edited)

Good community of Steemit, glad to greet you, here will leave an information to know a little more about our universe and those around us, in turn see how science has increased its studies in leaps and bounds and gives us to know a new elemen To be considered the strongest in the universe, called "NUCLEAR PASTA", Astromaterial science studies nuclear pasta and Coulomb crystals in neutron stars. Here I will leave a summary of what it is.


SOURCE


A new study published in *Physical Review Letters*, revealed that the nuclear paste, a rare substance believed to exist within the Ultradense dead stars called "Neutron Stars", may be stronger than any other material known in the Universe.


A new field of science is born Astromaterial science. Mentioned for the first time in today's newspaper, this scientific field studies materials of astronomical objects that are denser than the materials commonly found on Earth. In the study they refer to and are introduced in the field of Astromaterial science, starting with two important materials of interest, "Coulomb crystals and nuclear pasta". Both materials occur in a particularly unique celestial body, the neutron star. Neutron stars are the massively dense remnants of supernovae. Supernovae mark the dramatic end of a giant star's life. As these massive stars grow into huge sizes, then the fusion of the stars begins to fail, and the stars explode.

To break it requires a force 10 billion of times higher than the necessary to break the steel.

This is an insanely high figure, but the material is also very, very dense, which helps make it stronger, the "Nuclear paste" is incredibly dense, about 100 trillion times more than water. During the investigation, computer simulations were used to stretch the "Nuclear paste" sheets and to study how the material reacted. High pressures were needed to warp the substance, and the pressure required to break it was greater than needed to break any other known material.


Approximately one kilometer below the surface of a star of this type, the atomic nuclei are so tight against each other that they melt in groups of nuclear matter, a dense mixture of neutrons and protons. It is believed that these even theoretical groups are shaped like bubbles, tubes or sheets, and are named after the types of Italian pasta they remember, such as gnocchi, spaghetti and lasagna. Deeper, the entire nucleus of the burned star is pure nuclear matter, like a giant atomic nucleus.


SOURCE


While nuclear pasta has been theorized, simulated, and studied previously, these unusual states of condensed matter have not be observed. Neutron stars are small and hard to see with our telescopes. Even after they are seen in the sky, it is not clear how to determine the state of nuclear pasta within by observing the neutron star through a telescope.


Scientists, M. E. Caplan and C. J. Horowitz, state that rotating neutron stars can be the source of continuous gravitational waves (all gravitational wave detections science has seen thus far have been of black holes crashing into each other). If there are deformities on the surface of the neutron star, “mountains”, and the neutron star is rotating fast enough, this phenomenon can cause gravitational waves to ripple through space every time the neutron star rotates. Based upon the magnitude, frequency, and irregularities in the detected gravitational waves from the neutron star, the scientists postulate that the waves can give insight into the make-up of the nuclear pasta.

I hope this summary is very useful to know a little more about these fenomomenos that occur in the universe.

Hola @elgringo79, ten en cuenta el uso correcto de etiquetas en tu caso valga la redundancia la etiqueta spanish esta mal empleada, cuando el contenido de una publicación, esté escrito de forma total o parcial en español, puedes hacer uso de esta en tu caso veo que el articulo esta completamente en ingles, lo que indica que el uso de dicha etiqueta es incorrecto.

Y tranquilo esto no tiene el objetivo de ir en contra de tu publicación, si no que tiene la función de que en tus contenidos posteriores a este, evites cometer el mismo error.


Ok, muchas gracias por la observacion @mortysanchez, en futuras publicaciones seran tomadas las observaciones.

Saludos

I found that the best way to get more exposure to my posts is by using steemengine and linking my twitter account.

Ok, thanks for the comments, if indeed the use of social networks is a useful tool for the dissemination of this type of information..

Best regards..
