World’s first AI-native particle collider will process 500,000 collisions per second

SMRTR summary

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory, will be the world's first particle collider with AI built into its design from the start — not added later. Costing up to $2.8 billion and launching in the mid-2030s, it will handle 500,000 collisions per second, using AI to sort data, self-tune the accelerator, and reconstruct particle behavior in real time.
