When we go backwards in time through the history of the cosmos, the distances and volumes shrink, while the average energy ...

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

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

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

New research has unveiled a previously unacknowledged effect of Einstein’s relativity theory similar to time dialtion and ...

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 ...

At the LHC, the quark–gluon plasma is formed in collisions between heavy ions. In these collisions, for a very small fraction of a second, an enormous amount of energy is deposited in a volume ...

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

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 ...

“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 ...
