Abstract

About 3000 different isotopes of 118 elements are presently known. The discovery of these isotopes is closely linked to the development of new production and detection techniques and more powerful accelerators. A brief overview of the history of isotope discovery and our present knowledge of the nuclear chart are given. The status of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is described, and the potential for discovery is discussed especially for neutron-rich nuclides.
