Research in fundamental science has revealed the existence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP)—a newly identified state of matter—as the constituent of the early universe. Known to have existed a microsecond ...

Researchers from the HEFTY Topical Collaboration investigated the recombination of charm and bottom quarks into B c mesons in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). They have developed a transport model that ...

Physicists at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, have used supercomputer simulations to predict a specific gravitational-wave fingerprint that would confirm quark-gluon plasma forms inside the ...

Rice University researchers have captured the temperature profile of quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot state of matter from the dawn of the universe. By analyzing rare electron-positron emissions from ...

Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks in proton-proton collisions, a signal long associated with quark-gluon ...

Simulated gluon field in the nucleus. When energy increases, the nucleus grows and its internal structure changes. A researcher Heikki Mäntysaari from the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), has been ...

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 ...

Physicists can create an exotic state of matter known as a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by colliding gold nuclei together. By systematically varying the amount of energy involved in the collision, ...

Scientists from the CMS collaboration at CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to understanding how matter behaved in the very early ...

Imagine you have a microscope that would let you see a single atom up close. Let's say it's a hydrogen atom, the smallest kind. Zoom in past the single electron orbiting at the outskirts, and you'll ...
