My Work
What I do:
Dr. Grinyer’s research uses beams of rare isotopes to study the properties of short-lived radioactive nuclei that are located furthest from stability. The structure of these exotic nuclei are essential for understanding how the nuclear force evolves towards the extremes of matter and for describing the observed abundances of stable nuclei throughout the universe that are produced in explosive astrophysical scenarios.
