of 345 MeV (4 terakelvin or 7 trillion degrees Fahrenheit) had been achieved in gold ion collisions, and that these collision temperatures resulted in the breakdown of "normal matter" and the creation of a liquid-like quark-gluon plasma.

In January 2020, the US Department of Energy Office of Science selected the eRHIC design for the future Electron-Ion collider (EIC), building on the existing RHIC facility at BNL.
