Nanomedicines save lives, but they don’t reach the market or the patient’s body fast enough. Researchers have now come up with a recipe to accelerate and improve the process.
Short strands of genetic material called microRNA have implications for human health – but they could also revolutionize species identification, and perhaps even allow monitoring of wildlife health. Here’s how they work and the potential they offer.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for buildings is an effective tool for achieving climate targets. The requirements must now be followed up with policy in Norway as well.
New technology aims to enable us to always do even more. A researcher has issued a warning about what this ‘efficiency hysteria’ is doing to us and our workplaces.
Donald Trump used a 2018 survey on Greenlandic preferences for national independence to bolster his argument for annexing the autonomous territory.
Digital technologies are creating many opportunities for the industry, but how can you ensure that you take advantage of these opportunities in practice? Researchers examine how and why in the new book “Digitalization and Sustainable Manufacturing – Twin Transition in Norway”.
These man-made toxic substances are often referred to as ‘forever chemicals’. There are thousands of different variants, and researchers are finding more and more of them.
Will we be able to trust text and images in the future? Deepfake is being used not just for innocent fun, but also to influence voters in the world’s most powerful countries.
It’s been a mystery for many years: Every day, tonnes of ferromanganese – an important additive in steel – are “locked” in slag on their way out of the furnaces. We are now getting close to solving this problem.
Despite decades of innovation, more than a billion people in sub-Saharan Africa still don’t have access to clean cooking. Low-tech, affordable cookers exist, yet firewood remains the go-to fuel. Why?
A recent study shows that a new programme can increase ‘grit’ and self-efficacy in adolescents. Approximately 16,000 young people will soon have access to this programme each year.
What was it like as a Jewish Holocaust survivor returning to Trondheim, a city where many inhabitants had been involved in the genocide?
How can we increase our understanding and commitment to environmentally friendly architecture? There is much evidence to suggest that visualisation using AR can help us.
Ropes and fishing gear used in the fisheries and aquaculture industries are a major source of microplastics in the ocean and littering along the coastline. A multidisciplinary international research team has now drawn up a plan that will help to reduce pollution.
Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s can get better if they train at a high intensity, because high-intensity exercise activates the nervous system and helps to boost strength. Researchers are now developing an app to make training at home more effective, using a mobile phone as a personal trainer.
Physicist Sol Jacobsen from QuSpin has been awarded a prestigious award.
Rather than simply tracking an animal’s real-time location, grid cells coordinate to perform rapid, rhythmic sweeps into the space ahead of the animal.
Climate change is affecting the Sámi rhythm of life and their faith in the future. Yet Norwegian and Swedish reindeer herders see predators, forestry and wind farms as greater threats.
Fish welfare: Using a digital eye and artificial intelligence, scientists have found a way of monitoring the breathing of salmon. The method can reveal whether or not the fish are stressed.
Ten years of research on yoga as a stress-reducing activity provides a clear answer: A little effort offers real health benefits.
That is the message from Atle Harby, senior researcher at SINTEF. He is a member of the expert committee tasked with looking at the socio-economic consequences of climate change.
