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 a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have performed the first global simulations of monster shocks ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

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

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

New results from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider show energetic quarks creating wake-like ripples in quark-gluon plasma, ...

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

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, ...

The new research verifies Rajagopal’s account of the QGP, using a neutral, electrically weak particle called the Z boson as a marker to track the movement of quarks in the plasma. Since the Z boson ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed stable, suggesting plasma instabilities aren’t responsible for missing gamma ...
