However, in the hot and dense conditions of the early universe, they existed independently. The quark-gluon plasma didn't ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a hot, dense point, expanding into the cosmos we observe today.

The theory of special relativity is rife with counterintuitive and surprising effects, the most famous of which are length ...

This fireball of particles—known as quark–gluon plasma and believed to have filled the universe in the first few millionths of a second after the Big Bang—expands and cools down rapidly.

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

This book introduces quark gluon-plasma (QGP) as a primordial matter composed of quarks and gluons, created at the time of the "Big Bang". After a pedagogical introduction to gauge theories, various ...

“We’re looking at matter that’s pushed to its absolute limits,” Broodo said. “Once you figure that out, you have potentially ...

“According to our previous measurements at LHC, at this very high energy level the quark-gluon plasma is a liquid with very small viscosity. This is what we call a perfect liquid,” reports You Zhou, ...

Event display showing a lead-lead collision in the ALICE, CMS and LHCb detectors. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is like an ...

This year, the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility celebrates the 40th anniversary of ...

But there are still huge technological challenges to overcome before ... Heating a plasma for fusion research requires megawatts of power. One approach that research tokamaks use to achieve the ...
