Scientists Just Looked Inside a Quantum Matter Fireball , This Is What They Found

And the density was no joke either. Find out more about the first experiment to measure what the behavior and state of quark matter would be in an interaction like a neutron star collision on this episode of Elements. , QuantumMatter, Fireballs, HADES, Physics, Science, Seeker, Elements Read More: Physicists Peer Inside a Fireball of Quantum Matter For decades, experimentalists have used powerful colliders to crush gold and other atoms so tightly that the elementary particles inside their protons and neutrons, called quarks, start to tug on their new neighbors or (in other cases) fly free altogether. But because these phases of socalled quark matter are impenetrable to most particles, researchers have studied only their
