Physicists at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, have used supercomputer simulations to predict a specific gravitational-wave fingerprint that would confirm quark-gluon plasma forms inside the ...

In the first joint result from the world's two leading particle colliders, scientists have determined the mass of the heaviest elementary particle, the top quark. The measurement was made using the ...

For a few millionths of a second after the big bang, quarks could move freely, but soon normal matter "froze out" of this quark-matter soup. For the first time scientists have compared quantum theory ...

Astronomers recently announced that they have found a novel explanation for a rare type of super-luminous stellar explosion that may have produced a new type of object known as a quark star.
