CERN Recreates the Primordial Matter After the Big Bang
About this episode
Researchers at CERN have found compelling evidence that collisions between oxygen nuclei can create tiny droplets of quark-gluon plasma—the primordial state of matter that filled the universe moments after the Big Bang.
The discovery challenges the long-held belief that only heavy nuclei could produce this exotic "primordial soup," opening a new window into the strong nuclear force and the universe's earliest moments.
