Three examples of recent nuclear structure studies using Gammasphere are discussed in this paper. (1) A rotational band has been identified in ¹⁰⁸Cd. Its moment of inertia and quadrupole moment indicate that this band has a shape with an axis ratio larger than 1.8:1. (2) Possible ``Jacobi'' shape transitions at high spin were investigated from studies of the continuum gamma rays on a number of nuclei. (3) Population of high-spin states in neutron-rich nuclei were studied in target fragmentation reactions. States with spin up to 6--12 \hbar were observed in a wide range of nuclei.
