Katrianne Lehtipalo interviewed about science spin-offs
Dr. Katrianne Lehtipalo shares her views about commercializing scientific inventions in an interview published in “Yliopisto” magazine (University of Helsinki science magazine) and its web site. The story is about two scientists and two spin-off companies. The interview is in Finnish. http://yli...
If air pollution was a physics problem
According to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is the biggest environmental cause of death [1]. Solving environmental problems is always complex including political and socioeconomic factors, but let’s approach this problem like we learned to tackle physics p...
New interesting publications
Several studies which includes measurements with the Airmodus Particle Size Magnifier have been published lately: A large source of low-volatility secondary organic aerosol. Nature 506, 476-479, 2014. Ehn et al. Sub-3 nm particles observed at the coastal and continental sites in the United Stat...
Grey&green is the new black
Everyone knows that the most important feature of a (scientific) measurement instrument is that it gives accurate measurement results reliably. It is a general prejudice that scientists do not care about the superficial things, like how they or their instrument looks. Let’s say that we have two i...
Meeting face-to-face or going virtual?
Airmodus was organizing last week a PSM user meeting for all the people using the Particle Size Magnifier, and others interested in measuring the tiniest particles. Close to 30 people representing 12 different institutes had registered! User meetings are a forum for people to learn about their in...
