In this talk, we will present a proposal to unveil the hadron tomography through the nucleon energy-energy correlators (NEEC) at hadron colliders (RHIC and LHC) and the future electron-ion collider (EIC), focusing on spinning gluon effects and small-x saturation. We will show that the gluon saturation at small-x predicts a significantly different shape for the angular distribution of the NEEC. We further discuss the long-range azimuthal angle asymmetries to probe the spinning (linearly polarized) gluon distributions inside the nucleon
