A mini-laboratory that makes it possible, among other things, to study how brain cells in stroke patients are affected by lack of oxygen is being developed by a research team at LuleƄ University of Technology (LTU) in Sweden. Lab on a Chip is what the scientists are calling their mini-lab, which is expected to facilitate studies of all sorts of biological cells and how they are affected by different medicines, chemical substances, etc.

Why does gold occur where it does in the bedrock? If we understood that we would be able to make new finds also in areas where we had not looked for it. In his research into the FƤboliden gold deposit along the so-called Gold Line in VƤsterbotten in northern Sweden, Glenn Bark has studied the geological features that are important to the formation of gold deposits. What’s more, the results are proving to be directly useful to the project’s industrial partner and its current gold prospecting.

In northern Sweden, ore has been mined for several hundred years. Today it is extracted from two minesĀ-Kirunavaara and Malmberget. Kirunavaara is also the site that has given the ore its name, the Kiruna types of apatite iron ore, a name that is used internationally. In many places around the world, such as Chile and Sweden, copper and gold have also been found near certain iron ores, a fact that has led researchers from LuleĆ„ University of Technology in Sweden to believe that these ābig threeā were formed at the same time, deep down in the crust of the earth.
