In the wake of partons
Today, almost all the quarks in our Universe are neatly organised into larger particles, glued together by aptly named gluons. For the first few millionths of a second after the Big Bang, however, quarks and gluons were not confined, forming instead a state of matter known as a quark–gluon plasma (QGP). By studying the QGP
