Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the ...

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

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

Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll ...

The CMS Collaboration investigated in detail events in which a top quark and an anti‑top quark are produced together in high‑energy proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using the full 138 fb⁻¹ ...

Observational first: physicists have used the ATLAS experiment at CERN to observe the production of top-quark and photon pairs. (Courtesy: CERN) For the first time, particle physicists have observed ...

Heavy-ion physics is a dynamic field that investigates the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions by colliding nuclei at relativistic speeds. Such collisions create a short-lived, ...
