Researchers have made progress in identifying a critical point where the strong nuclear force weakens, allowing quarks and gluons to form a hot plasma. By analyzing collisions at a New York particle accelerator, scientists have narrowed the possible location of this point on a phase diagram. This finding could reveal insights into the early universe and neutron stars.
