Does it sound like the guy in the apartment above you keeps dragging a sack of potatoes across his room? It’s not his fault –the building you live is not sufficiently soundproofed.
Large language models like ChatGPT and Copilot are useful for many things. However, they are not yet good enough to imitate the way people speak.
Artificial intelligence of the future will be in the form of small, specialized models.
Different building materials carry different climate footprints. Norwegian natural stone, such as Otta slate, turns out to have surprisingly good properties as a façade material.
‘Bubbles’ – taste that word – and think soda, soap, play and well-being. But did you know that air bubbles can also reduce fuel consumption and emissions from oceangoing vessels?
Self-driving cars need to know exactly where on the road they are located at all times. A new invention could revolutionize the development of driverless vehicles – and give us more accurate GPS on our mobile phones and fitness watches too.
Bees do more than just pollinate plants. They are also nature’s own warning signal. Placing sensors in their hives allows researchers to see when the bees need help doing their job.
The spent grain from beer brewing can be used to make microcapsules that can preserve omega-3 oils and medicines.
Europe is falling behind in the innovation and technology race. But you can always find some enterprising types who buck the trend.
This new invention could make today’s heavy electric vehicle batteries lighter, safer and increase their range. The researchers behind the technology believe it is also ideal for use in aviation, space travel, drones and shipping.
A new method makes it possible to gain an extensive overview of the materials in our homes. It could be an important step toward a more circular economy.
“It’s not the politicians, but Big Tech that now gets to decide how technology should be used,” says Heidrun Åm.
Some people never forget a face. This is an ability police forces around the world find very useful. It now seems that this superpower can be used for more than previously thought.
A new electronic voting system developed at NTNU can withstand attacks from quantum computers, meaning digital elections can be conducted securely, even in the future.
The ship may need over five kilometers to stop. Perhaps not so surprising. The ship measures 62 meters in width and extends 21 meters below the water’s surface. Four models needed to test if the ship withstands launch.
New laser technology can help improve self-driving cars and fibre-optic internet, among other things.
When new technology fails, it’s not always because it does not work as intended. Sometimes, people simply don’t want to use it. One researcher believes this should be predictable.
The need to cool down computers eats into the world’s energy consumption. By using liquid instead of air, we can save large amounts of energy and at the same time produce heat.
Would you adjust your electricity consumption if you received a notification on your mobile phone telling you when electricity was going to be most expensive the following day? Research shows that good information can influence our energy consumption.
The wind’s sweep across desert sand provides important information in the hunt for methane gas leaking from oil platforms. Researchers have now applied this knowledge in the hunt for the climate change driver methane.
Physicists have now discovered a material that can be very useful in crafting tomorrow’s quantum technology: clay.
Locomotives that run on diesel can be electrified. This would both cut CO2 emissions and significantly reduce overall energy consumption, according to a new study.
It had been dormant for 800 years, but in March 2021, the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland came to life. While the eruption was ongoing, large-scale field experiments were conducted to build defensive earthen barriers aimed at slowing down the molten lava flow.
Researchers are growing the food of the future in this laboratory: meat that uses kelp as an alternative to animal-based ingredients.
