Components of UW-Madison's cyclotron are seen in the current location of the apparatus on the campus. The university is adding two more cyclotrons to its collection with the construction of a new lab.
Jonathan Engle, head of UW-Madison’s Cyclotron Research Group, shows the facility inside the Wisconsin Institute for Medical Research on the campus in Madison. In addition to adding two more-powerful cyclotrons, the university is overhauling the cyclotron that’s been in use since 2008.

The machine they are watching uses an electric current, pressure and temperature to produce materials that can be used in a cyclotron to create radioactive substances.
