The success of the liquid drop model to describe properties of nuclei suggests that at normal conditions, nuclei show liquid-like behavior.  If we heat up nuclei by accelerating and colliding heavy ions with other nuclei, theoretically, nuclei may undergo liquid to gas phase transition as in the case of water.  In the past decade, one of the interesting research areas in nuclear physics is to search for such phase transition signature.  In this talk, I'll discuss some of the work done at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University regarding this problem.  With the upgrade of the couple-cyclotron project nearly finished, I'll also discuss the exciting opportunities awaiting the experimentalist to determine the nuclear matter equation of state by stretching or compressing pieces of nuclei with extreme neutron to proton ratios.
