The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory began physics operation in the summer of 2000 with Au-Au collisions at an energy per nucleon-nucleon pair of √s_NN = 130 GeV. The physics results obtained by the four RHIC experiments in this "Run-1" are in striking agreement, establishing that unprecedented energy densities are created in these collisions, and suggesting a new suppression pattern in the particle production at high transverse momenta. I will discuss the implications of these results on the search for the quark-gluon plasma and on our understanding of QCD at high temperature. Preliminary results from RHIC Run-2 at √s_NN = 200 GeV, and on the prospects for spin structure function measurements with polarized protons in RHIC, will also be presented.
