Dear customer!Carl Nesjar was a multi-talented painter, sculptor and graphic artist, but is perhaps best known for his collaborations with Pablo Picasso. The stamp commemorating the centennial of his birth features a fountain model. Madeleine M. Karlstrøm has designed the stamp, which was issued on 14th August.

The new series of stamps, beginning with an issue on 17th September, is called “Research, Innovation, Technology” and illustrates fields in which Norwegian research and technology are far advanced. The themes for the stamps were chosen in collaboration with the Research Council of Norway. We begin with research carried out by May-Brit and Edvard Moser into what is perhaps most simply described as the brain’s GPS system. The second stamp in the series depicts the ultrasound technology that was developed by the industrial company GE Vingmed in the town of Horten for use in cardiac evaluations. Stamps are a source of knowledge, which can also be said of these stamps. Each stamp has a QR code which takes you to the website of the Research Council of Norway. Detailed descriptions of the stamps’ themes can be found there. Enzo Finger has designed the stamps.

Carl Nesjar 100 årCarl Nesjars helårsfontener lar det ytre klima innvirke på skulpturens formuttrykk. Vannspillet og lyset i sommerhalvåret får formene til å bevege seg, mens skulpturen ikler seg isens mer stabile formverden med istapper og krystaller vinterstid. Nesjar var meget opptatt av vann i alle former, samt havets storhet. Fontene-modellen som er motiv på dette jubileumsfrimerket fremstår som et godt eksempel på dette.

Forskning, innovasjon, teknologiHjerneforskning: Frimerket viser grid-systemet som kjennetegner hjernens senter for læring og hukommelse. Sammen med forskere fra NTNU og Kavli-instituttet avdekket Edvard og May-Britt Moser hvordan hjernens senter for læring og hukommelse utvikler seg. En kan si at de fant stedssansen vår, noe som gir håp om å kunne reparere skader og sykdom. For sin forskning ble ekteparet Moser tildelt nobelprisen i medisin i 2014.

Ultralydteknologi: På frimerket ser vi et hjerte med ultralyd-piktogram. Bedriften GE Vingmed Ultrasound er i dag verdensledende på utstyr for hjerteundersøkelser med ultralyd. De produserer ultralydapparater for hjerteavbildning (ekkokardiografi), og ligger helt i forkant av utviklingen innenfor både 3D- og 4Dimensjonal ultralyd. De mest avanserte kardiologiproduktene utvikles og produseres i Norge.

QR-koden på frimerkene leder til en nettside hos Norsk Forskningsråd med mer informasjon om temaene.
