Five hundred thousand times per second, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will record a collision. At that rate, machine learning will sort, filter, and reconstruct whatβs happening inside the detector. That requirement shaped the entire facilityβs design.
The collider being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is the first of its kind β the first particle collider with AI and machine learning integrated into both its accelerator and detector systems from the start. It is a joint project between Brookhaven and the Department of Energyβs Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, with more than 300 institutions collaborating worldwide.
The price tag sits between $1.7 billion and $2.8 billion. Operations are targeted for the mid-2030s.

Discord announced that all voice and video calls through the communication platform are now protected by default with end-to-end encryption (E2EE). The implementation was completed in March. Extensive at-scale testing has given Discord the confidence to formally announce the E2EE deployment now, and to start removing client code that supports unencrypted fallback.
The migration to E2EE was achieved by extending the open-source encryption protocol DAVE to support all platforms where Discord clients run, including desktop, mobile, web browsers, PlayStation, Xbox, and Discord SDKs. The encryption layer now covers DMs, group DMs, voice channels, and Go Live streams.
