Scientists report the first hints of profound symmetry transformations in the hot soup of quarks, antiquarks and gluons produced in most energetic collisions. These new results thus suggest the opportunity to test some crucial features of symmetry-altering bubbles speculated to have played important roles in the evolution of the infant universe.
