Physicists originally thought that collisions of smaller ions with large ones wouldn’t create a quark-gluon plasma. New evidence from #RHIC suggests otherwise.

We invite all to join us for the #NSLSII and #CFNatBrookhaven Users' Meeting from April 28 to 30. The sessions will offer scientists from diverse disciplines an opportunity to share their work in synchrotron science, nanoscale science, materials science, and biological sciences. https://bit.ly/3kYPUTw

Emerging technology from the University of California, Riverside will be used in the ePIC detector of the future #ElectronIonCollider.

Today’s technology is overwhelmingly based on a semiconductor called silicon. Silicon devices have been shrinking for decades, but physical limitations will soon prevent further improvement. That’s why scientists and engineers are preparing for a new generation of technology — one based on #QuantumMechanics.

Technologically, we now have the potential now to add a new layer to the human brain — one that connects us to #AI. It's called the exocortex, and it would serve as a new source of thinking, inspiration, and imagination. #CFNatBrookhaven

Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin used #NSLSII to uncover how real-world conditions degrade batteries found in earbuds. Their findings could help design longer-lasting batteries for several applications.

When building a one-of-a-kind particle collider filled with groundbreaking accelerator technologies, it’s extremely helpful to have a place to test things out. #ElectronIonCollider

The next generation of energy-efficient microelectronic devices and information processing technologies will likely be based on “spintronics,” which leverages both an electron’s charge and its spin — the tiny “up” or “down” magnetic moment carried by every electron. Now, a relatively new subset of spintronics has sprung up, known as magnonics, which harnesses the collective behaviors of spins, known as spin waves or magnons.
