Carbon
Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. Three isotopes occur naturally, 12C and 13C being stable, while 14C is a radionuclide, decaying with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.
By colliding heavy ions with free quarks, physicists hope to recreate the earliest moments of our Universe just after the Big Bang. In the aftermath of these heavy-ion collisions, jets coming from bottom quarks have been identified for the first time.
