FRIB uses nuclear collisions to generate beams of isotopes rarely found in nature because of their instability to radioactive decay, and which should yield new insights into nuclear physics and nucleosynthesis in stars and supernovae.
ARD, a joint organization of Germany's regional public-service broadcasters, conducted an interview with FRIB Experimental Systems Division Director Georg Bollen about the opening of FRIB. (Note: The audio interview on the ARD website is in German.)
