Neutronikiertoon

Neutronikiertoon, also known as neutronium, is a theoretical element with the atomic number 0. It is composed entirely of neutrons and is predicted to be the end product of neutron star formation. Neutronium is believed to have the highest binding energy per baryon of any known nuclide, making it the most stable form of matter under extreme conditions.

The concept of neutronium was first proposed in the 1930s by physicists such as Edward Teller and Fritz Houtermans. It is thought to exist in the cores of neutron stars, where the immense gravitational pressure causes protons and electrons to combine with neutrons to form neutronium. This process is known as neutronization.

Neutronium is not found on Earth and cannot be created under normal conditions. However, it can be studied through theoretical models and simulations, as well as through observations of neutron stars. The study of neutronium is an active area of research in astrophysics and nuclear physics, as it provides insights into the behavior of matter under extreme conditions and the formation and evolution of neutron stars.
