Calculation Shows Why Heavy Quarks Get Caught Up in the Flow

Theorists have successfully calculated the “heavy quark diffusion coefficient,” which describes how quickly a melted soup of quarks and gluons transfers its momentum to heavy quarks. The results show this transfer is very fast—at the limit of...
