CERN’s Large Hadron Collider will soon be smashing oxygen and neon atoms into other atoms of their own kind as part of its ATLAS experiment. The collisions will happen under enough heat and pressure ...

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

What does quark-gluon plasma—the hot soup of elementary particles formed a few microseconds after the Big Bang—have in common with tap water? Scientists say it's the way it flows. A new study, ...

Quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is a state of matter existing at extremely temperatures and densities, such as those that occur in collisions of hadrons (protons, neutrons and mesons). Under so-called ...

New measurements of how particles flow from collisions of different types of particles at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have provided new insights into the origin of the shape of hot ...

Holographic QCD employs ideas drawn from string theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence to study the strong coupling regime of quantum chromodynamics, offering a dual gravitational description of quark ...

Researchers create shaped quark-gluon plasma, see viscosity-free flow. Way, way over my head, but a couple of related questions for folks who have some knowledge in this area: Is this considered to be ...

Physicists report new evidence that production of an exotic state of matter in collisions of gold nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) can be 'turned off' by lowering the collision ...

I'll be honest...every time I hear "quantum (something)" my eyes kinda glaze over, and I suddenly understand how someone from the 1850s would probably see us today. I never covered quantum ...
