More than 1,000 researchers from around the world will come to use Michigan State University's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams once it's finished in 2022. But first, they'll need to have their research work approved. That process will begin in the spring of 2020, when FRIB hosts a proposal preparation workshop.

After more than five years of construction, Michigan State University’s Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, often referred to as FRIB, is nearing completion. A subscription to the Lansing State Journal is required to view this article.
By crafting massive versions of sodium, neon, and other elements, physicists are testing what's possible—and impossible—in nature.
The maximum number of neutrons that can be packed into fluorine and neon isotopes have been determined by nuclear physicists working on an experiment in Japan. These are the first new measurements of the neutron dripline in 20 years and could provide physicists with important information about how to model the atomic nucleus.
Researchers have identified the largest possible isotopes of fluorine and neon, extending the neutron “dripline” for the first time in 20 years.
FRIB Chief Scientist Witek Nazarewicz is featured in a “Speaking of Chemistry” video that explores how scientists are working with elements at the end of the periodic table to perform superheavy chemistry.
Researchers have observed a rare nuclear decay. Namely, the team measured low-kinetic-energy protons emitted after the beta decay of a neutron-rich nucleus beryllium-11.
Researchers from the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU) and TRIUMF (Canada's national particle accelerator) have observed a rare nuclear decay. Namely, the team measured low-kinetic-energy protons emitted after the beta decay of a neutron-rich nucleus beryllium-11.
The director of Michigan State University’s $765 million nuclear research facility says it should open in 2021. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams will be used to study the short-lived particles produced as charged beams collide with a target.
Michigan State University's $765 million nuclear research facility is expected to open in 2021. Researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams will study the short-lived particles produced as charged beams collide with a target.
Michigan State University’s $765 million nuclear research facility is expected to open in 2021, the laboratory’s director said.
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams is about 92-percent complete. The nuclear science research facility is set for completion in 2021.
Nuclear physicists measured the radii of three calcium isotopes, rich in proton content, for the first time. They obtained the measurements using a laser spectroscopy technique at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at MSU.
The Wharton Center unveiled their 2019-20 season, which includes a theatrical production called Isotopes in Motion, funded by FRIB.
A collaboration between FRIB and the Department of Statistics and Probability at MSU estimated the boundaries of nuclear existence by applying statistical analysis to nuclear models, and assessed the impact of current and future FRIB experiments.
Researchers have measured for the first time the nuclei of three proton-rich calcium isotopes.
