![Quark recombination in the quark-gluon plasma formed in high-energy nuclei collisions enhances the production of Bc mesons. These mesons consist of a charm quark and a bottom quark. Most of the quark-gluon plasma decays into thousands of other particles.](/-/media/np/images/highlights/2024/Texas-AM-B-Mesons-Collision-Image-LARGE.jpg?h=666&w=961&la=en&hash=5C368ED0CA0CFF8D81544CF0FED034C75BD1006701A814C3B92151029E02E0B3)
