The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced on
December 11, 2008 that Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing,
MI has been selected 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. The new facility—expected to take
about a decade to design and build and to cost an estimated $550
million—will provide research opportunities for an international
community of approximately 1000 university and laboratory scientists,
postdoctoral associates, and graduate students. DOE

The Fifth Argonne/INT/MSU/JINA FRIB Workshop on Bulk
Nuclear Properties was held at Michigan State University from November
19 to 22, 2008. It was the fifth in a series of theory workshops
related to RIA. View

JINA hosted a Mini-Workshop on "Post-processing
of SNe Ia Nucleosynthesis Yields" on October 5 at University of
Chicago. It was a very informal workshop, where they discussed work
in progress and the respective views of the problems associated
with handling post-processing for particularly the conditions that
obtain in SNe Ia.
Read the new article "Behind the
Scenes: Archeology of the Stars" on LiveScience to learn the research
conducted by the JINA PI - Prof. Timothy Beers and his colleagues.
