The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider announced some exciting new results earlier this month from two separate groups of researchers, and the iSGTW brings us the news and a great video showing what they’ve discovered.
For the first result, scientists rolled back the clock to measure the temperature in the first instants of the formation of a quark-gluon plasma “soup.” They found that at that instant, the temperature is a whopping four trillion degrees. (…)
The second group of scientists discovered that, in the magnetic field induced by the accelerator’s colliding charged particles and the vortices that form in the resulting quark-gluon soup, positively charged quarks tend to move in one direction, and negatively charged quarks in the other. (…)
