new radiation monitoring device ?
In the
current issue of the British periodical Spaceflight, there is a news-brief about
a device, developed with sponsorship of ESA (the European Space
Agency).
The new
device uses modified yeast which give off light proportionally to the amount of
DNA damage repair activity, and therefore the amount of ionizing radiation (of
all types).
Its intended
for use by astronauts (on the ISS) and possibly also by pilots & flight
attendants on airliners.
I was not
able to find anything about this on the ESA news web site -- can someone direct
me to an address on the internet please ?
Thanks.
