Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion | Facility for Rare Isotope Beams

About “Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion”

“Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion” delves into research being done at FRIB while exploring themes that resonate in both nuclear physics and dance: stability and instability, measurement, acceleration, fragmentation, and navigating mystery.

The project is a mass collaboration between FRIB, the Wharton Center for Performing Arts at Michigan State University (MSU), Dance Exchange, Happendance, Women and Minorities in Physical Sciences (WaMPS) community members, and students from Everett High School and Dwight Rich School of the Arts.

FRIB has sponsored two “Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion” so far, one in 2022 and another in 2024.
