Dark star crashes: the computer simulation of two merging neutron stars (left) blended with an image of heavy-ion collisions at CERN to highlight the connection of astrophysics with nuclear physics.

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree 'soup' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a ...

At its start, the universe was a superhot melting pot that very briefly served up a particle soup resembling a "perfect," frictionless fluid. Scientists have recreated this "soup," known as ...

Compact Muon Solenoid The CMS detector at CERN has gleaned important information about quark–gluon plasma. (Courtesy: CERN) The speed of sound in a quark–gluon plasma has been measured by observing ...

Scientists of Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) won the Megascience-NICA competition of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) to support research on hadron and quark-gluon substances. A ...

QGP is conventionally described using relativistic hydrodynamic models and studied experimentally through heavy-ion collisions. There has been a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment ...
