National Superconducting Cyclotron LaboratoryThe primary scientific endeavor at NSCL is to unravel the mysteries that reside at the center of atoms, in atomic nuclei. Atomic nuclei are ten thousand times smaller than the atom they reside in, but they contain nearly all the atom's mass (more than 99.9 percent).... Type: Facilities & Networks |
