CERN Experiments Suggest Lighter Ions Can Form Quark-Gluon Plasma

New findings from CERN's Large Hadron Collider indicate that collisions of oxygen and neon ions can produce quark-gluon plasma, an extreme state of matter from the early universe. This discovery challenges prior beliefs that only much heavier ions could create QGP. Multiple LHC experiments observed evidence of this phenomenon, advancing our understanding of fundamental physics.
