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

Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven coalescence after collisions cool.

In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds after the Big Bang and, in the process, knocked lead atoms into becoming ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

The long circular tunnel beneath the pine barrens in Upton, New York, came to a halt on a calm winter morning. For 25 years, ...

Fundamental particles called quarks can be created in quantum-correlated pairs. These correlations can be passed on to larger particles that form from the quarks. The strong force differs from others ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles zinged around at light speed, creating a "quark-gluon plasma" that lasted for ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spectro Cloud, a leading provider of modern infrastructure management, today announced Hadron, a lightweight, secure Linux distribution optimized for enterprise edge ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...
