The quest for the quark-gluon plasma
Article Abstract:
The 'quark-gluon plasma' is a deconfined phase of matter that permeated the first microseconds of the Universe and exists at phenomenally high temperatures and pressures. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is found to be of a great help in understanding the existence and properties of this exotic medium.

How the LHC came to be
Article Abstract:
The development of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was in major arguments because of its high energy requirements and the funds required. The project however turned out to be a huge success, as well as a boon for high finance and politics of the state.

The electron is cool
Article Abstract:
Temperature is an awkward concept for a single particle, but the energy of the particle's 'quivering' is a useful substitute. Feedback control of this motion can be used to cool a single electron to very low temperature.
