found in neutron stars.

Vast gravitational pressure compresses atoms so strongly that the electrons are forced to combine with protons via inverse beta-decay, resulting in a super dense conglomeration of neutrons.

(Normally free neutrons outside an atomic nucleus will decay with a half-life of just under 15 minutes,

but in a neutron star, as in the nucleus of an atom, other effects stabilize the neutrons
