The discovery of the new antihypernucleus could help scientists better understand the state of the universe just a millionth ...

This basic model is, however, just that: there are many, many more states of matter out there that it doesn’t capture. The next most familiar is plasma, which is much like a gas except here many ...

The problem with studying this state of matter is that quarks decay very, very quickly, in just a tiny fraction of a second. The quark-gluon plasma that emerged after the Big Bang only existed for a ...

In space, a fourth state of matter exists: the plasma state. Plasma is like a gas, with individual particles moving freely under the influence of gravity and collisions. However, the particles in ...

Ninety-nine per cent of visible matter in the Universe is plasma. This fourth fundamental state of matter is important not just because it is so commonly found, but also because plasma ...

For some background, plasma is the fourth state of matter, often created by heating a neutral gas or ionizing the gas in a strong electromagnetic field. The availability of free electrons allows ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a key indicator ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider kicked off its final year of operations this week, marking a quarter century of discoveries in particle physics.

Physicists working on the ATLAS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are the first to report the production of top quark–antiquark pairs in collisions involving heavy nuclei. By colliding ...

Plasma — sometimes referred to as the fourth state of matter — is matter that is so hot that the electrons are pulled away forming an ionized gas. That sounds exotic compared to gasses ...

thin piece of copper momentarily becomes dense plasma, specifically a state called warm dense matter. Warm is a relative term here – the metal reaches a temperature of nearly 200,000 degrees ...

Scientists have proposed a key indicator that may reveal the emergence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by analyzing particle ...
