For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...

In a collider ring on Long Island, physicists have turned a long standing thought experiment into hard data, watching new ...

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon plasma that filled the universe just after the Big Bang really was a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

A quark zooms through quark-gluon plasma, creating a wake in the plasma. “Studying how quark wakes bounce back and forth will give us new insights on the quark-gluon plasma’s properties,” Yen-Jie Lee ...

Breathing life into the old, this new Lubbock antique shop is turning heads with its name, layout and offerings. Dead ...

Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks -- the tiny particles within -- respond when hit by high-energy photons. The international team ...

Jeffrey Epstein drafted letters to men like the retail billionaire Leslie Wexner in which he hinted at shared secrets. By Steve Eder Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Matthew Goldstein Jeffrey Epstein, the ...
