Biggest expansion of known chemical universe targeted by FRIB nuclear facility

16 Feb 2021
Taken from the February 2021 issue of Physics World, where it appeared under the headline "The beams at the edge of physics".

Creating a new cutting-edge accelerator isn’t cheap or easy. But as Kit Chapman discovers, the upcoming Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) in Michigan promises great things for nuclear physicists especially those with applications in mind

“We’re going to double the number of known isotopes,” says Artemis Spyrou, an experimental nuc
