The machine at the nucleus of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams will be a superconducting linear accelerator able to accelerate beams of heavy ions to more than half the speed of light. Those beams will strike a set of graphite targets spinning at 5,000 rotations per minute with enough power to create the same rare isotopes found in the thermonuclear explosions of dying stars.
