Visual3D has enabled us to together come up with ideas for solutions, tools and products which will prove to be game-changers in how we visualise geology in geoscientific exploration, research and education, says Dr Tobias C. Kampmann, Associate Senior Lecturer, Luleå University of Technology
A scientist at Luleå University of Technology is one of the persons behind the discovery of a brand new mineral, which has now been named zinkgruvanit. – It's a bit of a childhood dream for a geologist. It is also a good reminder that there is still a lot of new things to discover in nature, says Nils Jansson, senior lecturer in ore geology.
This week, for the first time ever, ore minerals were analyzed at the NanoMAX beam line at the MAX IV synchrotron laboratory, which is the brightest x-ray source in the world.
From mines and smelters some waste containing high levels of arsenic will occur. Today, this waste ends up at different landfills, but in a new research project, Luleå Technical University's professor Jurate Kumpiene will develop a method for safe final storage of arsenic.
Many will spend this year's vacation in a summer house to avoid the ravages of the coronavirus. This, in turn, will increase the pressure on on-site wastewater facilities that belong to a summer house. Researcher Inga Herrmann at Luleå University of Technology has studied these wastewater systems a little closer and held a lecture about her research at Vetenskapens hus in Luleå.
Researchers at Luleå University of Technology have participated in a European study in which wastewater was sampled in a number of municipalities in Sweden at the same time and then analyzed for SARS-CoV-2. The approach may provide indications of future corona outbreaks.
