American Nuclear Society's Nuclear Newswire reports on the completion of major construction for the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), a new FRIB instrument for gamma ray spectroscopy that will be 10 to 100 times more sensitive than previous nuclear science experiments.
An article from Innovation News Network celebrates a major milestone in the construction of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), a cutting-edge detector designed to probe the mysteries of atomic nuclei that will soon be housed at FRIB.
Interesting Engineering examines how the research team behind Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA) is using artificial intelligence (AI) to make the software that tracks gamma rays even more powerful.
Mirage News recognizes Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) physicist Cole Pruitt for winning FRIB's Achievement Award for Early Career Researchers, which acknowledges early-career scientists who have made significant contributions to nuclear physics research at or in connection with FRIB.
Energy Reporters celebrates the completion of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), a new instrument constructed at Berkeley Lab and coming to FRIB in 2025. GRETA promises new insights into atomic nuclei and the forces that forge the universe's heaviest elements.
Researchers have completed the major construction of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), a next-generation nuclear detector designed to deliver the most precise measurements yet of atomic nuclei. Developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, GRETA will soon be shipped to FRIB for installation and commissioning.
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) posted a highlight titled “Predictive Theory Revises Understanding of Alpha Processes During the Big Bang and in Massive Stars” about new theoretical calculations that will enable more accurate determination of reaction rates for modelling primordial lithium-6 abundance and massive stars’ lifecycle. Authors of the publication are from the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University. Each year, scientists publish thousands of research findings in the scientific literature. About 200 of these are selected annually by their respective program areas in DOE-SC as publication highlights of special note.
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) posted a blog post titled “Gaute Hagen: Then and Now / 2013 Early Career Award Winner” about Gaute Hagen's research investigating state-of-the-art computations of weak processes in nuclei, which was carried out at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University.
Quanta Magazine reports on the research performed at FRIB studying the intermediate neutron-capture process, or the i-process, one of the three main processes by which heavy elements are thought to form. Experiments investigating the i-process, led by FRIB's Artemis Spyrou, will help scientists learn more about how heavy atoms are forged inside stars.
Deepika Davuluri, a graduate student in the laboratory of Professor Katharina Domnanich, has received the College of Natural Science's Alfred J. and Ruth Zeits Endowed Fellowship for her research in radiochemistry at FRIB. This endowment supports work in nuclear and laser science research, and particularly students whose research interests are targeting cancer.
MSU Today explores 26 areas of important research at MSU, outlined from A to Z. The alphabetical list features "R - Rare isotopes," showcasing FRIB's rare isotope research in pursuit of breakthroughs in medicine, national security, and a better understanding of the physical universe.
FRIB’s Alexandra Gade was one of ten MSU faculty who were named University Distinguished Professors in recognition of their outstanding achievements in teaching, research, and public service. In addition to her role at FRIB, Gade is a professor in the MSU Department of Physics and Astronomy College of Natural Science.
