Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after ...

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, ...

MOE Key Laboratory of Quark and Lepton Physics, CCNU has the following research output in the current window (1 November 2024 - 31 October 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a list of ...

The CMS Collaboration investigated in detail events in which a top quark and an anti‑top quark are produced together in high‑energy proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using the full 138 fb⁻¹ ...

Physicists have made a monumental discovery that sheds light on the early moments of the universe. By recreating conditions ...

Scientists have for the first time observed quantum entanglement — a state in which particles intermingle, losing their individuality so they can no longer be described separately — between quarks.

Some friendly competition led up to the first discovery of entanglement at the Large Hadron Collider. Andy Jung had a secret. And he wasn’t the only one. Jung and many of his colleagues on the CMS ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...
