The scientists found that, despite the small size of the oxygen and neon nuclei, the collisions produced signals consistent with the behavior they expected to find in QGP. According to a recent article in Physical Review Letters , CERN and an international team of collaborators were able to generate the substance using oxygen-16 and neon-20.

Meanwhile, gluons—as their name suggests—stick quarks together.
