Abstract
Many of you are vigorously searching for the quark-gluon plasma—a predicted new phase of nuclear matter where quarks roam almost freely throughout the medium instead of being confined to individual nucleons.1, 2 Such a plasma is believed to have existed in the first 10 μs of the universe during the big bang and could be produced in the laboratory during the little bang of a relativistic heavy-ion collision.
