Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

The new research verifies Rajagopal’s account of the QGP, using a neutral, electrically weak particle called the Z boson as a marker to track the movement of quarks in the plasma. Since the Z boson ...

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural Revolution had stalled its development. Robert P Crease finds out more from ...

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, ...

Scientists recreate the early universe to study the first liquid ever formed and uncover how quarks moved through primordial matter.
