External news and journal publications discussing FRIB science.
MSU is hosting the summer 2018 session of the U.S. Particle Accelerator School, a national graduate-level training and workforce development program in accelerator science and engineering. The program is funded by the Office of High Energy Physics, which is in the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.
As the 150th anniversary of the formulation of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements looms, a professor probes the table's limits.
MSU's FRIB will get $97.2 million in federal funding this year, as part of the $1.3 trillion federal spending bill approved Friday. The $97.2 million was the baseline amount officials were seeking for the 2018 fiscal year.
From nuclear physics to elementary and secondary education, MSU has five graduate programs ranked by U.S. News and World Reports this year as the best in the nation.
Oganesson (Og) is the heaviest chemical element in the periodic table, but its properties have proved difficult to measure since it was first synthesised in 2002. Now an advanced computer simulation has filled in some of the gaps, and it turns out the element is even weirder than many expected.
Scientists (including Peter Schwerdtfeger of the New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study and Witold Nazarewicz of Michigan State University) have been involved in calculating the structure of oganesson, a relatively new element which has proved elusive to study.
FRIB’s state-of-the-art cryogenic infrastructure is accessible to MSU’s engineering and physics programs, providing a wide range of opportunities for students interested in many aspects of cryogenic engineering.
MSU is planning to invest an additional $35 million in FRIB to maximize the facility's potential as a world-leading research facility. MSU's board approved the start of planning for a project that would add a new building. The project would also include the addition of a high-rigidity spectrometer.
Astronomers wowed the world when they announced that they had seen two neutron stars merge, apparently creating heavy elements such as gold and platinum and spewing them into space. Nuclear physicists at MSU also cheered the find.
MSU is establishing an Accelerator Science and Engineering Traineeship program to address a national shortage in accelerator scientists and engineers.
Scientists (including Peter Schwerdtfeger of the New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study and Witold Nazarewicz of Michigan State University) have been involved in calculating the structure of oganesson, a relatively new element which has proved elusive to study.
Electron localization suggests that electrons are no longer confined to distinct orbitals in oganesson (element 118) and are distributed evenly.
