Heaviest known elementary particles and their antimatter counterparts are detected after nuclear smash-ups at the Large Hadron Collider.

Researchers seek to answer questions such as how the universe evolved just after the Big Bang from a super-hot plasma of quarks and gluons, how the different elements of the universe were formed, and ...

LASP is an institute at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU). The LASP Space Plasma Group seeks to understand the fundamental processes in our Universe. The group approaches these issues from a ...

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 ...

It presents some unique challenges for experimental researchers. Plasma's occur naturally and comprise the majority of perceptible matter in the universe including solar corona, solar wind, nebula, ...
