In 1958, Brookhaven physicist William Higinbotham unveiled one of the world's first video games, Tennis for Two, as a way to make science more fun and interactive. Now, a computer engineering student has brought the game back to life in 4K resolution. hackster.io/news/yannick-r…

BrookhavenLab's tweet card. The historic 1958 video game lives again, this time driven by an STMicroelectronics STM32 microcontroller.

Take a look at this particle collision recorded by the sPHENIX experiment at #RHIC! This snapshot of a full-energy (200-billion-electron-volt) gold-gold collision was one of many that provided the sPHENIX collaboration with data for its first experimental results.
