Construction on MSU's $730 million Facility for Rare Isotope Beams is nine weeks ahead of schedule and crews are preparing to install the first pieces of technical equipment later this year.
It’s the cutting edge research facility that’s being built at Michigan State University and its future could unlock breakthroughs in medicine, national security and even our understanding of the universe.
Freshman Sen. Gary Peters made his first major speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, urging the federal government to make significant investments in basic research.
Researchers at the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE)’s Argonne National Laboratory recently acquired two decommissioned magnets from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners from hospitals in Minnesota and California that will find a new home as proving grounds for instruments used in high-energy and nuclear physics experiments.
Graham Peaslee of the Hope College chemistry faculty received a second major grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to create a system for recycling at the atomic level. The new collection system includes a means of retrieving the isotopes, which are otherwise lost, and a methodology for recovering specific types. The system is being created with a particular emphasis on how it can function with the federally funded Facility for Rare Isotope Beams that will be operated by Michigan State University, which is also home of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.
Five of MSU’s graduate programs—elementary education, secondary education, rehabilitation counseling, organizational psychology and nuclear physics—were recognized as No. 1 programs for U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools.
The economic fallout from the construction of a nuclear science research facility at Michigan State University is already being felt in Livingston County.
It's a $730 million investment billed as Michigan's largest construction project, and its economic impact will be discussed at Tuesday's Good Morning Livingston breakfast.
FRIB isn’t set to be complete until 2020, but that didn’t stop crews from driving through the elements to complete a big concrete pour.
Crews are to pour more than 350 truckloads of concrete as part of the foundation for a tunnel section of a new nuclear science facility at Michigan State University.
There is so much concrete being poured at Michigan State University's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams today it would create a two-foot-thick blanket on top of the football field at nearby Spartan Stadium.
Tuesday morning's bad weather didn't stop workers from pouring concrete at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams on MSU's campus. It was the largest concrete pour of the FRIB project, with more than 3,350 truck loads dumping concrete all day.
