A $13 million project is aiming to harvest isotopes at Michigan State's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.
Creating a new cutting-edge accelerator isn’t cheap or easy. But the upcoming Facility for Rare Isotope Beams in Michigan promises great things for nuclear physicists, especially those with applications in mind.
Scientists have identified three distinct shapes in stable nickel-64, a stable isotope of nickel. This discovery increases the predictive power of such nuclear structure calculations for nuclei that can only be reached at next-generation rare-isotope facilities such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.
One of the most important reactions in the universe can get a huge and unexpected boost inside exploding stars known as supernovae, according to new research. Luke Roberts, an assistant professor at FRIB and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University, implemented the computer code that the team used to model the environment inside a supernova.
Michigan State University researchers have discovered that one of the most important reactions in the universe can get a huge and unexpected boost inside exploding stars known as supernovae. This finding also challenges ideas behind how some of the Earth's heavy elements are made.
The nuclear theory research of Saori Pastore, assistant professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, directly complements experimental work in the national nuclear and particle physics program, like the work that will be conducted at FRIB.
In this radio interview, FRIB Laboratory Director Thomas Glasmacher explains how FRIB works and what it means for FRIB to be a user facility for the Office of Nuclear Physics in the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.
Michigan State University not only has the nation’s top nuclear physics program, it’s also home to one of the field’s most prolific authors, B. Alex Brown. The professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, who also works at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, has published over 800 papers during his career, including a paper 30 years ago that still shapes the way people talk about nuclear science today. The prominent journal Physical Review C is featuring that paper in a special collection of articles to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
