There was recently a significant interests in the effects of strong and long-range intercomponent interactions on the physics of mixtures of both electrically charged and electrically neutral condensates in contexts of condensed matter and cold atoms physics. Since the neutron stars is also a system where the presence of a mixture of strongly interacting superfluids is expected, some of these recent condensed matter developments may be applicable in neutron stars physics. I will give a brief overview of these phenomena.
