Even the most powerful telescopes have not yet been able to see far enough back in time to witness events from the Big Bang.

This state, called a quark-gluon plasma, existed for a brief time until the temperature dropped to about 20 trillion ... QCD's force carriers, the gluons, do hold a color charge (two of them, ...

30 Miles Up. Arguing that others may have been quark hunting in the wrong places, British Physicists J. B. Hasted and M.R.C. McDowell have suggested a new area of search.

On March 2, 1995, the top quark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and the sixth and final quark was added to the Standard Model. Thirty years ago, ...

The thermodynamic properties of quark-gluon plasma were determined using lattice QCD, extending calculations up to the electroweak transition temperature (3–165 GeV) for three massless quark ...
