Quantum particles lined up into a sea that holds the secret of its shape. Scientists managed to decipher it through rare encounters of atoms, like a detective from clues. This method will allow peering into the interiors of neutron stars without leaving the laboratory.
🎯 Without the Pauli principle, electrons in atoms would roll down to the lowest level, and all chemical elements would become indistinguishable — the world would turn into a homogeneous mixture.
