A theoretical new state of matter. Quarks and gluons are components of atoms. When you heat certain atoms to around 4 trillion degrees Celsius, the atoms stop behaving as atoms and start behaving as something completely different.

A quark-gluon plasma behaves as a near-ideal Fermi liquid.

In normal matter, quarks are confined, in a Quark Gluon plasma, the quarks are not confined (read more on deconfinement).

At such temperatures, you would think that the quark gluon plasma would behave as free roaming objects, as people normally experience a gas, but it behaves more like a liquid instead.

More experiments are required to explore the nature of these subatomic particles.

How many phase of matter are there?

There are 7 proven states of matter, but many others that are currently theoretical and being debated.

Quark-Gluon plasma was only recently proven, so many people will not have heard of it.APEX: 4


Does Top quark and Bottom quark make any stable particle in the universe?

Im afraid they dont, or to say it better the top quark does not make anything (yet). This is because of its very short lifetime (about 4.38*10^-25) which is too short to interact with a gluon and thus make a hadron.

Is a neutrino smaller than gluon?

A quark may be one of several categories: up (+2/3 charge), down (-1/3 charge), charmed, strange, top, and bottom. A quark, generally speaking, has no subparticles of its own that are generally accepted or discussed, but, in terms of size, the gluon, the gauge boson that mediates the "glue" force between the quarks can be construed as "smaller" in size than a quark.


What quarks are in protons?

There are no quarks in an electron. Electrons are leptons, which are not made of quarks. Further, the electron is a fundamental particle, just like the quark. That means that neither quarks or electrons are made up of other particles, per the Standard Model of particle physics.


Are electrons the smallest things in the world?

No its not, there are particles called gluon, up quark, down quark, muons, neutrinos, and much more smaller things. antimatter(particles), higgs boson(not fully revealed) i won't argue with those but i'm pretty sure justin bieber's penis is smaller too.


Is glucose an subatomic particle?

No. A gluon, however, can be thought of as one. It's the particle that holds quarks together inside of hadrons (particles composed of three quarks) and mesons (particles composed of a quark-antiquark pair). The gluon is called a gauge boson- a fundamental particle that mediates one of the fundamental forces. Glucose is a type of sugar.
