Scientists smash oxygen nuclei to recreate Big Bang matter

Original: Scientists smash oxygen nuclei to recreate matter from the Big Bang

Physicists have collided oxygen nuclei in high-energy experiments designed to recreate conditions from the first moments after the Big Bang. By smashing the nuclei apart at near-light speeds, researchers can study the primordial plasma of quarks and gluons thought to have filled the early universe. The work extends heavy-ion collision research to lighter elements and offers a new window on how matter first formed.

Why now: New experimental results recreating early-universe conditions mark a notable advance in Big Bang physics research
