There is a theoretical material called nuclear pasta that we believe exists within the inner crust of neutron stars. If it does exist, it would be the strongest material in the universe as it is estimated to be at least a quintillion times stronger than steel. It has several phases, all named after pasta. Nuclear spaghetti, nuclear lasagna, nuclear bucatini and nuclear gnocchi. These phases are dependent on the depth of the crust within the neutron star.
