The Coupled Cyclotron Facility at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University provides a large variety of new isotopes previously inaccessible and others at rates sufficient for in-beam spectroscopy. This talk presents some of our recent results elucidating the structure of exotic nuclei.After a general overview of scientific highlights from the first two years of operation particular results from several in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments in the vicinities of neutron numbers N=16, N=20, N=28 in the {pi}(sd) shell around 56Ni will be discussed. Inelastic scattering experiments with gamma-ray detection on light and heavy targets have determined specific transition matrix elements and excited state energies. One- and two-particle nucleon knockout reactions were used to investigate the wave functions of specific states and to deduce corresponding spectroscopic factors.
