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

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is like an immensely powerful kitchen, designed to cook up some of the rarest and hottest ...

Based on an experiment at CERN, a collaboration led by the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, can predict hitherto unchartered changes in the shape of nuclei.

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

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

“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, ...

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

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

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...

In the 1980s, theoretical work had indicated that high-energy heavy-ion collisions – using, for example, lead or gold nuclei – would allow quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter thought to have existed ...
