Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks ...

The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in ...

A pair of top quarks has been detected in the detritus spraying forth from the collision of two atoms of lead. This means that we're a step closer to taking new measurements of this primordial soup, ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Even the most powerful telescopes have not yet been able to see far enough back in time to witness events from the Big Bang. But by smashing atoms, ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles zinged around at light speed, creating a "quark-gluon plasma" that lasted for ...

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny ...

Researchers create shaped quark-gluon plasma, see viscosity-free flow. Way, way over my head, but a couple of related questions for folks who have some knowledge in this area: Is this considered to be ...

Physicists report new evidence that production of an exotic state of matter in collisions of gold nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) can be 'turned off' by lowering the collision ...
