Hackmanite, a mineral that is extensively studied and developed at the University of Turku, will be taken to the International Space Station as part of a new research project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the University of Turku. The study will investigate whether hackmanite can be used as a radiation detector for different materials in space.

The materials scientists of the University of Turku solve industrial challenges and expand our understanding of the properties of materials. In his research, University Research Fellow Pekka Laukkanen concentrates especially on semiconductors. Researchers at the Materials Research Laboratory create new solutions for future industry.
