Here's what happens when quark-gluon plasma 'splashes' during the most energetic particle collisions

New data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, reveals how the primordial soup generated in the most energetic particle collisions "splashes" sideways when it is hit by a jet of energetic particles.
