*Abstract:*

The proton and neutron, known as nucleons, are the fundamental building 
blocks of all atomic nuclei and make up essentially all the visible 
matter in the universe, including the stars, the planets, and us. The 
nucleon is not static but has complex internal structure, the dynamics 
of which are only beginning to be revealed in modern experiments.  The 
nucleon emerges as a strongly interacting, relativistic bound state of 
quarks and gluons in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the 
strong force.  In this talk, I will demonstrate that the proposed 
Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) with its unique capability to collide 
polarized electrons with polarized protons and light ions at 
unprecedented luminosity, and with heavy nuclei at high energy, will be 
the most powerful tomographic scanner able to precisely image quarks and 
gluons inside the proton and nuclei. This precision microscope will 
allow us to “see” and explore the dynamics binding quarks and gluons 
together to form hadrons. The EIC will address the most compelling 
unanswered questions in QCD and hadron physics, and take us to the next 
QCD frontier.
