| From Physical Review Letters: New neutron-rich nuclei support 'island of inversion' theory |
Mapping the properties of nuclei at the edge of the nuclear landscape is one of the fundamental pursuits in experimental nuclear science. Even the simple proof of existence of an isotope, which lives only for a... |
| From the Lansing State Journal: Public gets chance to view cyclotron lab at MSU |
"The public got a chance to explore the world of atoms, isotopes and nuclei Saturday afternoon during the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory open house at Michigan State University," reported LSJ's... |
| Videos available from June 12 Rare Isotope Beams for the 21st Century event |
Approximately 400 people attended the June 12 Rare Isotope Beams for the 21st Century event, which helped to celebrate a major expansion of NSCL and look ahead to the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. (The MSU press... |
| Nuclear masses measured to within a hair’s precision |
No one likes to say exactly how much they weigh. Rare atomic nuclei are similarly coy, obviously not because of their own volition, but rather because they are exceedingly difficult to produce and, while they exist,... |
| NSCL researchers constrain symmetry energy at low density |
By analyzing collisions between several combinations of tin nuclei, researchers at the Michigan State University National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) have refined understanding of the symmetry energy... |
| From Nature News: Atomic nucleus takes two shapes |
"The question is whether the influence of the magic numbers stretches across the nuclear chart," says Paul Mantica, a nuclear chemist at NSCL interviewed for a March 9... |
| From NSF Discoveries: Data from starquake aids in understanding of neutron stars |
For postdoctoral researcher Andrew Steiner and other astrophysicists, the shockwave that jolted the Earth in late December 2005 was a lucky find, providing new data on neutron stars. A video interview with Steiner,... |
| From Physics World: Checklists, rules and creativity |
Writing for the January issue of Physics World, NSCL associate director for operations Thomas Glasmacher describes three ways in which the laboratory is streamlining operations while preserving scientific... |
| Work on new technical capabilities for NSCL users moves forward |
NSCL is under construction. And despite the winter weather, including more than 20 inches of snow in December, progress continues on various expansion projects. The upgraded facilities will include new office space... |
| U.S. Department of Energy Selects Michigan State University To Design and Establish Facility for Rare Isotope Beams |
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced today that Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, MI has been selected to design and establish the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a... |
