Applying Expertise to National Needs
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.
Innovating resilience
Single event effects upset testing of chips and electronics
FRIB’s single event effects (SEE) facilities address the national shortage of testing capacity for advanced microelectronics.
Cooling advancements
Large-scale high-efficiency helium liquefaction
To meet its need for liquid helium to operate the SRF linear accelerator, FRIB built and operates its own helium cryogenic plant—the most reliable and energy-efficient in the nation.
Accelerating discovery
Low-beta superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) particle acceleration
FRIB's SRF technology is world-class and has been used to establish FRIB as the world's most powerful heavy-ion accelerator.
