Episode description
Can we “hear” what neutron stars are made of? A new model shows how tidal forces in binary systems create oscillations detectable through gravitational waves—potentially revealing exotic matter inside neutron stars.
In this episode, we explore how these extreme objects may act as natural laboratories for physics beyond what we can test on Earth.
