Probably, there are cubic neutrons

According to calculations of astrophysicists Phillip Lanes-Estrade and Gaspara Moreno Navarro, it is quite probable that very high density of packing of neutrons leads to that the form of particles changes with spherical on cubic, — scientists share in the article.

It is known that in a kernel of atom the density of protons and neutrons makes approximately 74 %. About the same volume occupy the above-named particles in neutron stars.

Scientists have assumed that there are stars in which elementary particles in a kernel are under a high pressure. It, quite probably, leads to that they get the cube form owing to what of 100 % of volume are capable to occupy all.

It is interesting that authors of work even have found the suitable candidate in which kernel under their assumptions there can be cubic particles. It is neutron star PSR J1614—2230 in constellation of the Scorpion. The basic indicator from which scientists made a start, is record weight of object which makes 1,97 weights of the Sun.

Confirm or deny guesses of scientists supervision for PSR J1614—2230 can. So, if the kernel of this star really consists of cubic particles it will necessarily be reflected in angular speed of rotation and density.

The hypothesis about existence of square neutrons has there and then found the opponents who declare that with bolshej a probability share at border high pressures between particles become more "dim".
