Enabling Scientific Discoveries
FRIB enables scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes in order to better understand the physics of nuclei, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society.
FRIB serves the nuclear science community by offering research opportunities in experimental nuclear physics, experimental nuclear chemistry, accelerator science and engineering, and computational science for accelerators, leading to major benefits and new opportunities.
FRIB is a U.S. research hub advancing science, medicine, materials, and security, while training talent to drive discoveries that benefit society and global progress.
FRIB affords opportunities for laboratories and universities to develop the nuclear science workforce through graduate research, fellowships, and postdoctoral opportunities, and it supports future scientists through awards and career building.
FRIB engages the public to articulate its benefit to the nation. Public engagement efforts enable FRIB to share its research, highlight the impact of DOE-SC funding, inspire future science and technical leaders, and connect with the campus and surrounding community.
Artificial intelligence
As a DOE Office of Science user facility based at a university, FRIB advances the goals of the DOE Genesis Mission by harnessing artificial intelligence to accelerate discovery in nuclear science and develop the workforce.
