In a recent report, scientists at CERN's ALICE experiment announced that they conducted the first-ever measurement of the bottomonium, a type of exotic particles generated by smashing lead (Pb) ions.

A supercomputer simulation of the "primordial soup" has revealed that its inner structure is surprisingly complex. When our universe burst into existence approximately 13.8 billion years ago, it ...

The universe began with a bang—and things immediately got weird. Stars and galaxies didn’t form right away. Scientists think that matter was initially a near-perfect fluid of quarks, the smallest ...

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. A new study, ...

Smashing atoms together could produce a weird kind of fluid that makes whirlpools and rings, revealing secrets of some of the least-understood forces of nature that hold matter together, according to ...

In the first fractions of a second of our Universe's existence, the energy density was so incredibly high that there were no protons and neutrons, just a hot "quark soup" known as a quark-gluon plasma ...

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 ...

other in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, leaving behind a spray of particles that includes quark-gluon plasma. Such conditions naturally existed in the universe a microsecond after the big bang.

Ion chefs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—a 2.4-mile ring at the Brookhaven National Laboratory—have created a 4-trillion-degree Celsius quark soup, the highest temperature ever achieved in a ...

Science, founded by Thomas A. Edison in 1880 and published by AAAS, today ranks as the world's largest circulation general science journal. Published 51 times a year, Science is renowned for its ...
