| Many simple yet important nuclear properties have historically been determined from studies of one- or few-nucleon transfer reactions. With the renewed emphasis on properties such as shell structure and single-particle orbitals in nuclei far from stability, such reactions have again gained prominence. Such reactions with have been studied with light exotic nuclei using unstable beams at the ATLAS facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The results for single-nucleon transfer reactions can also be compared to modern theoretical methods such as the Quantum Monte Carlo approach to nuclear structure. These results demonstrate some of the opportunities, as well as some of the experimental challenges encountered in this new domain. New experimental approaches that can address the technical difficulties encountered in the study of such reactions will also be discussed. This work supported by the U. S.
