I think they don't have any experiment results, only some new (unproven) theoretical ideas.

Moreover, I'm skeptical because a similar idea may apply in neutron starts, but the current model of neutron starts has a crust of about 100m (300ft) that has different kinds of intermediate structures with a lot of neutrons and protons and is called "nuclear pasta" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pasta

I can't find how much experimental support has nuclear pasta, but IIUC there are some measurements of the density of the layers of the neutron stars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star#Density_and_press...
