Neutronium



Neutronium is a term originally used in science fiction and in popular literature to refer to an extremely dense phase of matter composed primarily of neutrons; historically, the word was coined by scientist Andreas von Antropoff in 1926 (scil., before the discovery of the neutron itself) for the conjectured 'element of atomic number zero' that he placed at the head of the periodic table.
