External news and journal publications discussing FRIB science.
FRIB Laboratory Director Thomas Glasmacher was interviewed on the WILS Morning Wake-Up program on WILS (1320 AM). He discussed MSU's K500 chip-testing facility for next-generation semiconductor devices that will be based at FRIB.
Michigan State University (MSU), supported by a $14.2 million contract funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, will develop a new chip-testing facility at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. The new facility will help meet the current national shortfall of testing capacity for advanced microelectronics.
Michigan State University will build on its 60-year track record in accelerator-based nuclear physics leadership by refurbishing the history-making K500 cyclotron and installing it as the heart of a new chip-testing facility for next-generation semiconductor devices. The facility establishment, supported by a $14.2 million contract funded by the U.S. Department of Defense Test Resource Management Center and awarded through the U.S. Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency, will be based at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.
Michigan State University is leading pioneering research on the world’s fastest supercomputer, thanks to a new grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE has awarded an MSU-led team 1.3 million node hours of computation time on the Frontier supercomputer. Brian O'Shea, the grant's leader, is a professor in MSU’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams and the Department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering.
