Rare Isotope Time Trial Gives Insight to Neutron Star Heat Source

The recent measurement of the mass of the short-lived rare isotope manganese-66 has made it possible for nuclear astrophysicists to pin down the underlying heating elements of one of the universe’s most fantastic phenomena—accreting neutron stars.

MSU Sponsors 2012 U.S. Particle Accelerator School in Grand Rapids

MSU is sponsoring the 2012 Summer Session of the U.S. Particle Accelerator School that is being held in Grand Rapids. The US Particle Accelerator School is a national graduate program that provides graduate-level educational programs in the science of particle beams and their associated accelerator technologies that are not otherwise available to the scientific and engineering communities. It also promotes the development and publication of advanced technology textbooks.
