Boats passing over smooth water form a pair of diffusion wakes behind them veering off at a certain angle. Turbulence occurs ...

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, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A supercomputer simulation of the "primordial soup" has revealed that its inner structure is surprisingly complex. When our ...

Quantum simulation of particle physics reached a milestone this week: IBM, Duke, and QuEra quantum computers each independently ran real-time gluon string-breaking, the process that creates every ...

Researchers at the University of Kansas working with an international team at the Large Hadron Collider have produced quark-gluon plasma—a state of matter thought to have existed right at the birth of ...

After the quark-gluon plasma filled the universe for a few millionths of a second after the big bang, it was over 13 billion years until experimenters managed to recreate the extraordinarily hot, ...

Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s RHIC particle accelerator have determined that an exotic form of matter produced in their collisions is the most rapidly spinning material ever detected ...

Combinations of three quarks (RGB) or three antiquarks (CMY) are colorless, as are appropriate combinations of quark/antiquark pairs. The gluon exchanges that keep these entities stable are quite ...
