Professor’s milestone in nuclear physics seeks to understand the universe itself – Phys.Org

A nuclear physics professor from Florida International University was among a team of researchers that proposed something so out of this world, colleagues first hesitated to accept it was possible.
In 1993, they boldly predicted how the densest materials in the universeknown to exist only in rare neutron starscould be made here on Earth. Ultimately, their research was published in Physical Review C, a leading academic journal focused on nuclear physics.
It spawned a wave of follow up research…
