Researchers have created tiny droplets of the ultra-hot matter that once filled the early universe, forming three distinct shapes and siztiny droplets of the ultra-hot matter that once filled the early universees: circles, ellipses and triangles.
The study, published today in Nature Physics, stems from the work of an international team of scientists and focuses on a liquid-like state of matter called a quark gluon plasma. Physicists believe that this matter filled the entire universe during the first few microseconds after the Big Bang when the universe was still too hot for particles to come together to make atoms.
