Scientists Discover Evidence of a New Type of Matter: the Tetraquark | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
The recent identification of a long-theorized particle is strong evidence of a new form of matter: the Tetraquark.


With the existence of tetraquarks, it is possible for neutrons within the core to interact strongly enough to create tetraquarks. This could even lead to the production of pentaquarks and hexaquarks, or even that quarks could interact individually without being bound into color neutral particles. This would produce a hypothetical object known as a quark star.
