Michigan State University’s Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, will open its doors to discovery with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on 2 May. U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm and MSU President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D., have invited guests to the event that will set the stage for beginning FRIB’s scientific mission.

FRIB will house the world’s most powerful heavy-ion accelerator, allowing researchers to access more than 1,000 new rare isotopes, many never before produced on Earth. Supporting a community of 1,600 scientists from around the world, FRIB will enable scientists to make discoveries about how the universe formed, while advancing innovation in medicine, nuclear security, environmental science and more.
