SUMMARY
Teleporting a 1mm³ sample of a neutron star will result in the sample remaining as a dense neutron clump, known as neutronium, due to the extreme gravitational forces that stabilize its structure. However, if the sample is removed from the neutron star's gravitational influence, it will destabilize and likely convert into cosmic radiation, primarily neutrons, which may eventually decay into hydrogen. The discussion emphasizes the unique properties of neutronium and the implications of its instability outside the neutron star environment.
