"The final run of RHIC was less of a memorial and more of a celebration of a new beginning. RHIC will be revamped to turn into an electron-ion collider," @wshu.org reports. #RHIC #ElectronIonCollider
#RHIC operations have come to an end, and #ElectronIonCollider preparations are ramping up.
The U.S. Department of Energy approved Critical Decision 3B for the EIC, authorizing the second phase of long-lead procurements.
This decision enables us to prepare for the construction phase.
"A window into how visible matter emerges from the 'nothing' of vacuum has been opened by physicists" at #RHIC.
New results from #RHIC suggest how "virtual" particles become real. @nature.com
AgriPass has secured $7.5 million in seed #funding to accelerate the commercial deployment of its robotic weed control platform, #RHIC (Robot of Human Inspired Cultivation).
The round was led by Harbor Ventures Consulting with participation from E44 Climate Ventures.

An "imaging by smashing" technique at #RHIC's STAR experiment reveals uranium-238 may be shaped like a pear.
Our scientists have developed a custom #AI algorithm to streamline massive datasets from particle detectors.
The algorithm uses a neural network to compress "sparse” data, so detectors can record more collisions. #RHIC #ElectronIonCollider
We asked people involved in research at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider to reflect on the end of #RHIC's operations.

#RHIC made surprising discoveries about the plasma that filled the early universe, "from which the particles that make up stars, galaxies, planets — and, eventually, us — descended."
Over 25 years, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider generated roughly 300 trillion particle collisions, collected about 450 petabytes of data, involved more than 3,500 scientists, and so much more. #RHIC
“Flow” helped physicists discover the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at #RHIC.
Now, a different type of flow seen in data from @atlasexperiment.bsky.social provides fresh insight into another aspect of the QGP’s viscosity.
The quantum vacuum — once thought of as empty space — provides important ingredients to transform virtual “nothingness” into the matter that makes up our world. #RHIC @nature.com
Just after 9 a.m. on Feb 6, the last particle beams circulated through the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and crashed together at nearly the speed of light. #RHIC
The final collisions cap a quarter century of experiments that produced groundbreaking discoveries about the building blocks of matter.
Take a look at some of the final collisions captured by the sPHENIX and STAR detectors at #RHIC.
These images show the result of two beams of oxygen nuclei smashing into one another at nearly the speed of light.
Particles pushed outward from heavy-ion collisions offer new insight into the fluid nature and viscosity of a unique state of matter called the quark-gluon plasma. #RHIC @atlasexperiment.bsky.social
Scientists get a glimpse of how matter emerges from the virtual “nothingness" of the quantum vacuum. #RHIC @nature.com

Take a look at particle tracks inside the sPHENIX detector at #RHIC.
While particle collisions produce a deluge of data, most of the volume of this house-sized detector is empty.
Our scientists just developed an #AI algorithm to compress this "sparse" data so detectors can record many more events.
RHIC's 25-year run ends with oxygen-ion collisions, yielding insights into quark–gluon plasma and proton spin. Data continues; the Electron-Ion Collider path begins. Source: phys.org/news/2026-02-success-rel... #Physics #RHIC #Science

The final collisions cap a quarter century of experiments that produced groundbreaking discoveries about the building blocks of matter.
Today we are thrilled to welcome the U.S. Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil to Brookhaven.
In addition to officially ending the 25th and final run at #RHIC, Gil is joining us for a tour of the Lab and discussions on our widespread #AI capabilities.

Scientists at #RHIC have spotted more signs of a possible critical point in the nuclear phase diagram.
Like turbulence marking the boundary between weather systems, fluctuations in the number of protons emerging from particle collisions could mark a critical point between phases of nuclear matter.
