Scientists can use powerful colliders to smash atomic nuclei together to create a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This "soup" of quarks and gluons, some of the fundamental building blocks of matter, filled the early universe. Tracking how high energy jets of quarks travel through the QGP can reveal information about the QGP's properties.
