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

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 ...

In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds ...

When it comes to primordial black holes being dark matter suspects, their alibi may be falling apart. Tiny black holes, created seconds after the birth of the universe, may survive longer than ...
