Nuclear Science Research
FRIB hosts the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator and drives discoveries in rare isotopes, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and societal applications.
The FRIB Laboratory houses distinct facilities available for scientists to conduct non-proprietary and proprietary research.
As a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), with financial support from and furthering the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics, FRIB enables scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes.
FRIB’s heavy-ion facilities, including the FRIB Single Event Effects Facility (FSEE) and the in-progress K500 Chip Testing Facility (KSEE), address the national shortage of testing capacity for advanced microelectronics.
