Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have new evidence that a pattern of "flow" observed in particles streaming from these collisions reflects those particles' collective behavior. The ATLAS collaboration analysis was led by scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University.ATLAS Confirms Collective Nature of Quark Soup's Radial Expansion
