Physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have published the first observation of directed flow of hypernuclei -- short-lived, rare nuclei that contain at least one hyperon. The results may give insight into hyperon-nucleon interactions and the structure of neutron stars.
