Some people are interested in neutronium, but they are not actually sure what this is. This is supposed to be a type of black matter that may be caused by the break down of neutron stars. There are some reports stating that neutrons inside neutron starts may become tightly packed, so the pressure becomes too strong.

This will lead to the collapse of the neutron star that will lead to neutronium. There are different experiments, researches, and studies that are being conducted in order to prove its existence. There are still not enough details that are available at this time to prove that this is true or that it truly exists.
