Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hong-Bo Li, Lijing Shao, Cheng-Jun Xia, Ren-Xin Xu, | Summary: As density increases, the shape of nuclei transitions to non-spherical “nuclear pasta" structures. The physical properties of the nuclear pasta, such as thermal conductivity and elasticity, have implications for detecting continuous gravitational waves from a rapidly rotating […]
