Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...

Learn how physicists recreated the early universe’s primordial soup, known as quark-gluon plasma, and discovered how it responds when particles race through it.

In the very first moments after the Big Bang, the universe looked nothing like it does today. Instead of stars, atoms, or ...

Scientists at CERN, together with MIT physicists, have found strong evidence that the universe’s first “primordial soup” acted like a liquid. They discovered that when quarks zoom through this plasma, ...

Scientists recreate the early universe to study the first liquid ever formed and uncover how quarks moved through primordial matter.

Physicists from the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) have been conducting research on the matter constituting the atomic nucleus, utilizing the world’s three most powerful particle accelerators. Their ...

The ISOLDE set-up used to study the exotic nucleus of aluminium. Credit: CERN Interestingly, the probability sum involving the up quark is presently in apparent tension with the expected unity, ...

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 ...

Scientists from the CMS collaboration at CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to understanding how matter behaved in the very early ...
