Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after ...

University of Chicago scientists have solved a 20-year-old puzzle in particle physics using data from an experiment conducted for an entirely different purpose. Physicists had long known that ...

Thanks to a new development in nuclear physics theory, scientists exploring expanding fireballs that mimic the early universe have new signs to look for as they map out the transition from primordial ...

A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at various stages of its evolution, providing critical insights into ...

Physicists have announced the discovery of a new type of pentaquark 1. Most ordinary matter is made up of three-quark particles —protons and neutrons. The five-particle pentaquarks and their ...
