From the Head of Department
This
week we would like to congratulate the space physics group and Nikolai with a
new contract on the ASIM-project
worth Û 2.885,- which equals around 35 mill NOK! This, without going into too
much detail, is funding from ESA for the development of the MXGS (Modular X-ray
and Gamma Sensor) that will be deployed in the International Space Station.
Traditionally the space physicists have to build their own instruments in order
to collect the necessary data for their research. MXGS will be able to map the
so-called Transient Luminous Events (Red Sprites, Blue Jets, and Elves) and
Terrestrial Gamma Flashes. It is possible to read through the space physics
groupÕs web-pages in case you
would like to know more about their activities.

H¿yden about Endre Rieber SommestenÕs PhD-project Finds mole cancer with photos
. Malignant mole cancer is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, and also one
of the cancer forms that spread rapidly. The disease can now be detected in a
quicker and safer way with the new technology developed at UoB.
