Michigan State University is closer than ever to a major milestone: $1 billion in annual research expenditures. In fiscal year 2025, MSU reported $992,278,000 in research spending, according to data submitted to the National Science Foundation’s Higher Education Research and Development Survey. The total marks a 6.5% increase over 2024 and sets a new university …
EAST LANSING, Mich. – The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams or FRIB at Michigan State University today marked the inauguration of the K500 Chip Testing Facility or KSEE, expanding U.S. capacity for radiation effects testing of advanced microelectronics used in spaceflight, defense, wireless communications, and autonomous systems. The ribbon cutting recognized the completion and operational launch …
Researchers have reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, called p-nuclei. Led by Artemis Tsantiri, then-graduate student at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams and current postdoctoral fellow at the University of Regina in Canada, the study presents the first rare isotope beam measurement of proton capture on …
President Kevin M. Guskiewicz, Ph.D., today announced the full roster of the dynamic civic and business leaders that comprise Michigan State University’s Green and White Council. Co-chaired by university alumnus Matt Elliott and Eli Broad College of Business Dean Emeritus and Professor Sanjay Gupta, the council will support MSU in launching a set of initiatives to …
