Construction is moving ahead of schedule at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University. Sen. Gary Peters toured the project yesterday to see its development firsthand. Current State’s Kevin Lavery spoke with Senator Peters about his observations.
It's full steam ahead on the FRIB. In scientific terms, "What we're going to do is accelerate particles up to half the speed of light, smash those particles onto a target and then produce rare isotopes," said the FRIB's Deputy Project Manager, Paul Mantica.
U.S. Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) toured the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams or FRIB on Monday as part of his bipartisan effort to continue funding to the project and help shape new legislation regarding nation-wide research.
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.
