Physicists Create Tiny “Big Bang” with Small Atomic Nuclei
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and CERN have successfully recreated quark-gluon plasma—the primordial state of matter that filled the Universe during its first millionth of a second—using oxygen-16 and neon-20 atomic nuclei. According to the study published in Physical Review Letters by the international ALICE collaboration, this breakthrough proves that atomic nuclei far smaller … Read more
