Nuclear physicists have found a new way to use the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)--a particle collider at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory--to see the shape and details inside atomic nuclei. The method relies on particles of light that surround gold ions as they speed around the collider and a new type of quantum entanglement that's never been seen before.
