Scientists in the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a particle accelerator exploring nuclear physics and the building blocks of matter, have new evidence for what's called a "chiral magnetic wave" rippling through the soup of quark-gluon plasma created in an energetic particle smashups.
