What’s a Quark Star?

Quark stars are extremely compressed objects theorized to form 1% of all neutron stars. Candidates have been observed, but more evidence is needed for confirmation. Quark stars are even more compact than neutron stars, with quarks replacing neutrons. A quark nova may occur when a neutron star collapses into a quark star, potentially causing impressive […]

What’s a Quark?

Quarks are theoretical particles that make up protons and neutrons, and together with leptons, make up all visible matter. They interact with all four fundamental forces and have varying masses. Physicists are searching for quark matter, a hypothetical lattice found in compact stars. A quark is a theoretical tiny particle that makes up protons and […]
