A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...
Heavy-ion physics is a dynamic field that investigates the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions by colliding nuclei at relativistic speeds. Such collisions create a short-lived, ...
Light and heavy New calculations reveal quark distributions in flavour-asymmetric mesons. (Courtesy: iStock Traffic-Analyzer) The distribution of quarks inside flavour-asymmetric mesons has been ...
Space is an amazing physics laboratory, because we can see stars and other objects behaving under extreme conditions. Space.com columnist and astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains how quark stars work ...

A new review examines the three decades of the LHCb experiment, its achievements and future potential. A new review published in EPJ H by Clara Matteuzzi, Research Director at the National Institute ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Dark matter, which is thought to account for nearly a quarter of matter in the universe (but has yet to be observed), has perplexed physicists for decades. They’re constantly ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Scientists have observed the Higgs boson interacting with the top quark, the heaviest known elementary particle, in an exciting discovery that deepens our understanding of why objects ...
