Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

Learn how physicists recreated the early universe’s primordial soup, known as quark-gluon plasma, and discovered how it responds when particles race through it.

In the very first moments after the Big Bang, the universe looked nothing like it does today. Instead of stars, atoms, or ...

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

It hasn't existed since the beginning of time itself, but now scientists have managed to create what they call quark soup. This substance is believed to be the smallest, hottest, and densest state of ...

Scientists at CERN, together with MIT physicists, have found strong evidence that the universe’s first “primordial soup” acted like a liquid. They discovered that when quarks zoom through this plasma, ...

The results may offer insight into the quark-gluon plasma—the hot mix of fundamental nuclear-matter building blocks that filled the early universe. Scientists collide atomic nuclei at very high ...

UPTON, NY — Recent analyses from the [http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/] Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a 2.4-mile-circumference "atom smasher" at the U.S ...

(Nanowerk News) In the first millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the universe was a roiling, trillion-degree plasma of quarks and gluons — elementary particles that briefly glommed together in ...
