Quark–gluon plasma in their Nature PR. Quark–gluon plasma is a state of matter in which the elementary particles that make up the hadrons of baryonic matter are freed of their strong attraction for one another under extremely high energy densities. These particles are the quarks and gluons that compose baryonic matter. In normal matter quarks are "confined"; in the QGP quarks are "deconfined". In classical QCD quarks are the fermionic components of hadrons (mesons and baryons) while the gluons are considered the bosonic components of such particles. The gluons are the force carriers, or bosons, of the QCD color force, while the
3 Quarks Daily had reached thirty-five thousand. Since then, "3 Quarks Daily" has culled content from hundreds of sources, from blogs such as Salon, Science Daily, and The Huffington Post, from major publications such as "The New York Times", "Nature", and "The Guardian", to smaller outlets such as "Guernica Magazine", "The Awl", and "The American Scholar". The name "3 Quarks Daily" comes from the elementary nuclear particles of physics which in turn were named after the word "quark" which James Joyce had used in Finnegans Wake. The confluence of references to both science and literature in a single word suited the intent of
