The EIC, if built, would significantly advance the field of quantum chromodynamics, which seeks to answer fundamental questions in physics, such as how quarks and gluons produce the strong force—the "glue" that holds all matter together. If constructed, the EIC would be the largest accelerator facility in the U.S. and, worldwide, second only to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. MIT physicists, including Richard Milner, professor of physics at MIT, have been involved from the beginning in making the case for the EIC.

MIT News checked in with Milner, a member of MIT's Center for Theoretical Physics and the Laboratory for Nuclear Science, about the need for a new particle collider and its prospects going forward.
