MSU's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory is looking to the future with a new proposal for expansion, and is seeking funding from the federal government to do so. The Cyclotron accelerates electrically charged particles to almost the speed of light, and creates atomic nuclei that only exist for a short time and can't be found naturally on Earth. Konrad Gelbke, director of the lab, said MSU officials are considering either an expansion to the current building that could cost $350 million or constructing a new building in south campus that could cost $550 million. The facility would be used to help the laboratory continue its work studying atomic particles. A new building would give the Cyclotron more room for large and powerful equipment, but would be more expensive than just adding on to the original building, Gelbke said. The money, which would come from the federal government, could be the deciding factor in what gets built. Gelbke said he is optimistic the laboratory will get the necessary funding, but said things will have to start happening quickly so the laboratory and MSU can stay at the forefront of research while in competition with countries such as Japan and Germany. "We have exciting opportunities, and we will realize these opportunities, but the issue we're facing is international competition," Gelbke said.

Lansing — Sweaty, tired, throat raw and still vibing from a worn out crowd after an intense performance, The Coup's frontman Boots Riley throws up the peace sign to a couple of starstruck fans and slowly strides over to a dimly lit converted church pew to have a little sit down with The State News.
