What does quark-gluon plasma -- the hot soup of elementary particles formed a few microseconds after the Big Bang -- have in common with tap water? Scientists say it's the way it flows.

But the quark-gluon soup broke that symmetry - and that may point the way toward other examples of symmetry-breaking at high temperatures.

The primordial soup of matter that existed only split-seconds after the Big Bang is now getting recreated in the most powerful particle colliders in the world.

The findings, described in two papers just published in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review C, offer fresh insight into this primordial soup, which is known as a quark-gluon plasma (QGP ...

Quark-Gluon Particle Soup May Have Extreme Vorticity | RealClearScienceSmashing atoms together could produce a weird kind of fluid that makes whirlpools and rings, revealing secrets of some of the ...

Thousands of times a second the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, creates a quark-gluon plasma -- a recreation of the hot quark soup ...

Physicists created three different shapes of quark-gluon plasma blobs using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This plasma is an exotic type of matter that ...

Physicists have created a particle soup called quark-gluon plasma inside the particle accelerator RHIC at Brookhaven National Lab. Gold nuclei were smashed together at such extreme temperatures ...
