Whispers of the Stars: The Tale of ²³Na and Elusive Axions
In the crushing heat and density of stellar interiors, ordinary matter behaves in extraordinary ways, and, if some bold ideas in theoretical physics are correct, stars may also be producing entirely new kinds of particles: axions and axion-like particles, or ALPs.
