Degenerate matter

Degenerate matter by Wikipedia Bot 0
Degenerate matter is a state of matter that occurs under extreme physical conditions, typically found in objects such as white dwarfs and neutron stars. It arises from the principles of quantum mechanics and the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two fermions (particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons that have half-integer spin) can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.
