Are older, classical boat designs really better? High-tech testing in the Ship Towing Tank at the Norwegian Marine Technology Research Institute in Trondheim pits a 16th century classical rowboat against its newer, easier-to-build cousin.
The start-feed for “baby” tuna now being produced in Trondheim has given a Norwegian aquaculture company complete faith in the possibility of mass-producing one of the world’s most valuable fish species.
The endangered African wild dog is increasingly coming into conflict with humans, partly because it is difficult to fence them out. But an unusual approach may offer hope.
What happens inside chemical reactors and furnaces has always been a well-kept secret. Until now.
A Trondheim supermarket gets by with just over two-thirds of the electricity used by similar stores.
Your brain processes more thoughts and feelings during meditation than when you are simply relaxing.
May-Britt and Edvard I. Moser have won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine 2014. This is part of their work.
Ever-rising greenhouse gas emissions and the potential need to deploy untested and expensive climate engineering technologies are just two of the many bits of bad news in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s new report on “Mitigation of Climate Change”, released on 13 April.
Professors from NTNU present key findings from IPPC on how we can mitigate climate change.
Ethiopians may soon be able to bake their own traditional bread, called injera, with help from the sun.
Housing is the easiest sector to change if we are to reach the climate targets.
Greenhouse gas emissions from today will greatly affect our descendants for at least 1000 years.
So-called ‘evryday-rehabilitation’ is intended to help elderly patients manage everyday life at home after discharge from hospital. The scheme has been well received by its users, but research has revealed some teething problems.
The polar bear is known for having alarmingly high concentrations of PCB and other pollutants. But researchers have discovered that Greenland sharks store even more of these contaminants in their bodies.
In order to protect nature, we must accept that wind farms reduce the experience of natural areas for some, according to a professor at NTNU.
Norway ought to put more effort into building floating wind turbines in the ocean, says Professor Lars Sætran at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change releases its new report on “Mitigation of Climate Change” on 13 April, NTNU Professor Edgar Hertwich’s contribution as one of the lead authors of the Energy Systems chapter will amount to exactly 5 pages.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential if the EU’s climate target is to be reached in a cost effective way. Extensive governmental support in the form of subsidies is necessary to support early implementation of this technology.
No one has ever been able to process silicon carbide in such a way that it can be thermally sprayed as a lightweight, extremely durable coating on machine parts. That was before Fahmi Mubarok began his doctoral research.
Fire researchers have shown that sparks from a burning house can be prevented from spreading if the loft is fitted with an extinguishing system based on water-mist, i.e. tiny water droplets that turn into steam.
Rare earth metals are important components in green energy products such as wind turbines and eco-cars. But the scarcity of these metals is worrying the EU.
Your suspicions have finally been confirmed. Men forget more than women do. Nine out of ten men have problems with remembering names and dates, according to an analysis of a large Norwegian population-based health study.
Local materials, renewable energy reduce environmental impact.
Is it the coach, the player, the training – or everything?
