Physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have published the first observation of directed flow of hypernuclei short-lived, rare nuclei that contain at least one “hyperon.” The findings may offer insight into hyperon-nucleon interactions and the structure of neutron stars, where such "strange" matter is thought to be abundant.
