For decades, physicists have debated whether the searing plasma born from the Big Bang truly behaved like a liquid. A bold new experiment at CERN has now delivered an answer, and what they found ...

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 ...

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.

Theoretical physicists collaborate with OpenAI's artificial intelligence to solve complex calculations involving gluons and ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

Every year, AIP awards physical scientists for their leadership and excellence. In recognition of women in the physical ...

OpenAI's AI, GPT-5.2 Pro, has helped propose a solution to the "gluon puzzle"—a tough question in theoretical physics about how certain particles (gluons) interact. The discovery, published on ...
