About me / Bio:
Kristian Birkeland was a Norwegian scientist and professor of physics at the Royal Fredriks University in Oslo. He is best remembered for his theories of atmospheric electric currents that elucidated the nature of the aurora borealis. He also invented the electromagnetic cannon and the Birkeland-Eyde process of fixing nitrogen from the air, which laid the foundation for the Norwegian fertilizer industry. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize seven times, but never won. He died at the age of 49 in Tokyo, Japan, from an overdose of barbital, a sleeping aid. He was a pioneer in the fields of plasma physics, space physics, and geomagnetism.
