Biological, physical and mathematical sciences at Michigan State University
The work of Physics Professor Michael Thoennessen and several of his students is featured in the “Nature News” section of Nature as they have devised a method of ranking the prowess of researchers and institutions when it comes to discovering nuclear isotopes. Thoennessen and colleagues put together a database that included more than 3,000 isotopes, listing [...]
Paul Mantica, University Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, has been named a Fellow of the American Chemical Society for demonstrating outstanding accomplishments in chemistry and making important contributions to ACS, the world’s largest scientific society. Mantica’s research focuses on using beta-assisted Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (β-NMR) spectroscopy to deduce ground state moments to track such changes in [...]
High school science students and teachers from across the world will gather at MSU in August for the Physics of Atomic Nuclei camp at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The program is funded primarily by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics, with MSU faculty donating time and expertise. Read more>>
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected MSU to design and establish the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a cutting-edge research facility to advance understanding of rare nuclear isotopes and the evolution of the cosmos. Read more…
