Congratulations to our young talent, Dr. Florian Ströhl, who has been granted 8 million NOK for his project:
Development of Real Volumetric Microscopy through Single Objective Light-Sheet Imaging System (SOLIS) by the Research Council of Norway.
Dr. Ströhl and his team will build a completely new type of microscope that will be gentle, fast, high resolution, and compatible with simple sample handling. Together with his collaborators at the UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, namely Dr. Åsa Birgisdottir and professor Truls Myrmel, this technique will be applied to the study of mitochondrial transfer in heart cells cultured in the lab.

Assoc. prof. Krishna Agarwal has been interviewed by the Norwegian online newspaper Khrono.no after being granted 3.7 mEUR for her OrganVision project by the FET Open (Future and Emerging Technologies) program.
The project, OrganVision, is about developing a real-time high-resolution image processing technology that is suitable for research on organoids as well as creating – and exploiting – new opportunities for organoid research. As an example, researchers will now be able to see in real-time how individual cells in a lab-manufactured heart muscle work and better understand how stress and illness affect these cells.
This is the first time the UiT – The Arctic University of Norway is awarded such a prestigious grant, and therefore it is considered a huge success that will open extensive lines of collaborations with top-notch research groups worldwide.
The Moon Has a Strange, Hidden Effect on Earth Leaking Potent Greenhouse Emissions
16 DECEMBER 2020
Methane leaks from the environment and human activity are a serious greenhouse gas problem. Methane is many times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat, and scientists now say the Moon plays a key role in how much of the gas gets released.
It s all down to the tides and the tugging effect that the Moon s gravitational pull has on them – a phenomenon we can quantify. By placing a piezometer instrument in the Arctic Ocean for four days and nights, researchers were able to measure temperature and pressure changes over time.
Moon Controls Release of Gas in Arctic Ocean That Cause Global Warming, New Study Finds
Researchers from the University in Tromso and The Arctic University of Norway conducted the study to find out how Moon controls the methane emission.

The Arctic Ocean has been releasing enormous amounts of methane gas, a powerful greenhouse gas that impacts the global climate, for thousands of years. But in a recently published paper, scientists noted that the Moon, the only natural satellite of Earth, is probably also contributing to the methane emission activity.
The world s oceans are large reservoirs of methane, which is the second biggest contributor to human-caused global warming after CO2. According to climate experts, the gas is stored in the form of solid methane hydrates in the seafloor and the emission can cause the ocean warms up. But the emission of methane into the atmosphere also somehow managed by the Moon, said a new study which was published in the journal Nature Communic
