Abstract
At high density, nuclear matter is better regarded as a dense fluid rather than a collection of individual protons and neutrons. A good understanding of the properties of nuclear matter, important in the physics of neutron stars and the Big Bang as well as heavy atomic nuclei, is now emerging.
