In the STAR experiment at Brookhaven’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, smashing oxygen nuclei at nearly the speed of light produced jet quenching—strong evidence of quark-gluon plasma at substantially lower energies than in larger heavy-ion systems, setting a new lower bound for recreating early-universe matter. The findings are published in Physical Review Letters.
