First Quantum Entanglement Between Dissimilar Particles Provides A View Inside Atomic NucleiThe STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is the size of a house and acts like a giant 3D digital camera to track particles emerging from particle collisions at the detector's center. It has now been used to measure the distribution of gluons in an atomic nucleus.
