Scientists used the most massive fundamental particles to break special relativity, but even that didn’t work.

a DOE Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research that began operating at Brookhaven Lab in 2000. Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton or neutron in one of RHIC ...

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere to Einstein's special theory of relativity. The research is published in ...

Representation of nuclear matter on the left and of quark matter on the right. The question mark alludes to the question of whether these liquids can be distinguished in a theoretically rigorous ...

Currently, the quark-gluon plasma can only be created in two places on Earth – the LHC and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, a DOE Office of Science user facility) at the DOE's ...

This high-density quark behavior is called color superconductivity. The strength of pairing inside a color superconductor is difficult to calculate, but scientists have long known the strength's ...
