Research activities of physics with radioactive isotope beams are reviewed and its global expansions are presented. Introduced are the subjects of physics with radioactive nuclei and the history of the in-flight facilities, especially for conceptual ideas in designing Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF). Special emphasis is given to selected research highlights at RIBF and future directions are discussed.
