The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle collider for nuclear physics research at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, smashes large nuclei together at close to the speed of light to recreate the primordial soup of fundamental particles that existed in the very early universe. Experiments at RHIC--a DOE Office of Science User Facility that attracts more than 1,000 collaborators from around the world--have shown that this primordial soup, known as qu...
