==In neutron stars== {{Main|Neutron star}} [[Image:Neutron star cross section.svg|thumb|Cross-section of neutron star. Here, the core has [[Neutron|neutrons]] or [[Neutron degenerate matter|neutron-degenerate matter]] and [[quark matter]].]] Neutronium is used in popular physics literature<ref name=InglisArkell/><ref name=Zhuravleva/> to refer to the material present in the cores of neutron stars (stars which are too massive to be supported by [[electron degeneracy pressure]] and which collapse into a denser phase of matter). In scientific literature the term "neutron-degenerate matter"<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Angelo | first1 = J.
