America’s only particle collider just shut down to unlock a mind-blowing new machine
At Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has powered down for the last time, ...
After a decade of construction, the new-and-improved super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) is officially ready for science as it passes a key “standard candle” ...
I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...
A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set of instruments ...
Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...
The era of smashing two watermelons together at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended. After 25 years of accelerating streams of ions into each other at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), ...
When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of fundamental particles heated to trillions of degrees. But this seething primordial ...
As foretold, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—among the most powerful heavy-ion colliders in the world, second only to CERN’s LHC—ran its final particles and ceased operations last Friday. This is ...
