Searching for alien grains-unique new laboratory opened in Sweden

摘要

On 31October last year, a new laboratory and research environment, coined the Astrogeobiology (AGB) Laboratory, had its grand opening ceremony in Lund, Sweden (Fig. 10). This world-class facility is part of Lund University, and is situated in the modern housing complex at Medicon Village in the eastern part of Lund. Spawned from the mind of Professor Birger Schmitz, and funded through the European Research Council, the Swedish Research Council and the University itself, the research facility works as a melting pot for cross-disciplinary research with the aim of studying and understanding the interrelationship between astronomy, geology and biology.
