the anti-hypertriton – a never-before-seen particle – by colliding gold nuclei at extremely high speeds... Using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, N.Y., the team used particles of gold and collided them just short of the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). More than 100 million collisions were made to collect the data.
Yes, that's right -- using a facility right here in the United States, and not some third rate overpriced monster magnet buried under some village in Europe. ;') Thanks decimon. I think this is a repeat topic, but really who's gonna be able to tell? ;')
