Only in the 21st century have physicists been able to create it. One method that’s been shown to work is heavy-ion collision: smashing atomic nuclei together at very high speeds. Fortunately, experiments at LHC had been smashing heavy lead atoms together, leaving behind data trails in quark-gluon plasma for researchers to comb through.

The results tell us more about an artifact from the very earliest ticks of history. Quark-gluon plasma filled the universe in the first millionths of a second of its life, before what we recognize as matter—molecules, atoms, or even protons or neutrons—had formed.
