Nuclear Pasta

Experimental

Trivia

 * "Nuclear pasta" is a real astrophysics term for the interior of neutron stars, describing the various intermediate phases between discrete neutron-rich nuclei and bulk neutronium. Under the pressures partway into the neutron star, the neutrons organize themselves into short cylinders ("gnocci phase"), long cylinders ("spaghetti phase"), sheets ("lasagna phase"), etc.
 * Despite its name, Nuclear Pasta is not radioactive.
 * The glowing ball in the item's mesh is mostly shielding, surrounding a microscopic speck of the actual Nuclear Pasta material. A solid ball of Nuclear Pasta that size would weigh trillions of tons (more than a mountain range) and would immediately sink into the ground and tunnel into the planet's core. It would also require trillions of tons of material to make.
