Geologic reservoirs that trapped petroleum for millions of years are now being repurposed to store the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. New research is improving how we monitor this storage and verify how much CO₂ these reservoirs have stored.
People who commit domestic violence are at risk of repeating their behaviour. Research shows that it is crucial that perpetrators of intimate partner violence are met with understanding, not condemnation.
German soldiers’ accounts from Finnmark during World War II often describe the Sami as “noble savages” in a fabulous and foreign landscape.
Can bacteria that survive washing and disinfection in food production facilities spread antimicrobial resistance?
European coastal areas are under increasing pressure. Researchers are investigating ways to reverse this trend and help communities adapt to climate change.
The globe may be running out of sand suitable for concrete. Researchers are therefore testing a possible solution for using desert sand as a material.
The foundations for the Viking expeditions were laid on farms. Society became more stratified during this period, and carved chairs, owned by wealthy farmers and known as ‘high seats’, were a clear status symbol.
Many people with different mental health problems can be absent from work for a long time. But new results give hope that more people can recover and return to work sooner.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just take a picture of yourself with your mobile phone and sew your own clothes – in exactly the right size and fit? The solution is on its way.
A small revolution is happening in the fishing industry. Freshly frozen fish can now be thawed in a new way, and that means you will have access to super-fresh food from the sea – even if you live thousands of miles away.
To gain more knowledge about how ultra-processed food affects us, we need new research methods, claim researchers. Now they are looking to better understand our intestinal flora.
Metformin makes it easier for women with the hormone disorder PCOS to get pregnant, and the mother often gets better throughout the pregnancy. Her children, however, have a markedly higher risk of eczema and allergies.
Tired of hauling your boat out of the water to clean its hull? Graphene can replace the toxic chemicals usually used to do this job.
“That’s the dream,” says researcher Hanne Dalsvåg. If the researchers succeed, in the future you might be able to buy vegetables wrapped in packaging made from waste carrot or potato residues.
Environmental conditions on the seabed around fish farms generally improve the farther north you go in Norway.
Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when electricity is cheap and releases heat when needed.
One million births in Norway over 17 years have a story to tell: Maternity wards with greater numbers of births have safer births.
Giving adrenaline to hospital patients whose heart has stopped is very effective, and can increase the chance of bringing their heart rate back to normal by a factor of five.
Metals from Norway are often praised for their low carbon footprint. But right now, it matters even more that they are produced in a European democracy.
Quick clay collapse can be both dangerous and costly. New research will help us understand more about why the clay is so unstable. And maybe what we can do about it.
Businesses along the Norwegian coastline are becoming increasingly vulnerable to storm surges and flooding. Researchers have now created digital maps that show who is most at risk.
All Norwegian women who have given birth will be offered a postnatal check-up by their GP or midwife six weeks after giving birth. Most of those who participate experience this as an important offer. Nevertheless, one in four women does not attend the postnatal check-up.
