New research shows an unintended and unfortunate side effect of common drugs. They can simply help viruses spread.
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.
When animals evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, those evolutionary changes might have other negative effects. Or maybe not.
The food industry has to get moved up on the priority queue. Otherwise, it will be impossible to achieve the government’s goal of Norway becoming more self-sufficient in sustainable salmon feed.
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.
Only five percent of small fishing boats chill their catch on board, despite the fact that temperature plays a crucial role when it comes to quality and shelf life.
A four-day treatment method for panic disorder has shown brilliant results. Patients recover quickly after therapy. Research shows that the treatment lasts and that many people experience further improvement afterwards.
AI has become a tool that more and more people are using to create both text and images. But AI can also help a pressured healthcare system.
Autonomous robots that organize themselves are the next step in working in and studying the ocean.
It could take up to 200 years for our degraded ocean habitats to fully recover if we just leave them alone. So, we must intervene. The good news is that it works.
Young people who increase their physical activity from the age of 14 have a lower risk of developing symptoms of depression.
How did COVID-19 impact Norway and our lives? Researchers know a lot about what changed, and about what remained exactly the same afterwards.
Good fitness can reduce the risk of dementia and promote healthy brain aging. This recognition should be included in updated health recommendations, say researchers behind the new review.
Researchers are growing the food of the future in this laboratory: meat that uses kelp as an alternative to animal-based ingredients.
Young adults with reduced work capacity benefited greatly from the four-week interdisciplinary rehabilitation stay. The key: an individually tailored programme and a supportive community.
ADHD can exacerbate anxiety, and anxiety can exacerbate ADHD. Girls are particularly vulnerable to developing anxiety disorders, but researchers have recently discovered something that may help slow down – or prevent – the development of these types of disorders.
Bristle worms and soldier fly larvae can grow on aquaculture sludge and become protein-rich feed for fish and livestock. But toxic substances can infiltrate the loop. Now scientists have learned more about which substances we need to keep an eye on.
An investigation into Viking skeletons reveals a hidden story of violence, power, and the surprising differences between neighbouring Viking societies.
Quantum technology makes it possible to solve far more complex computational challenges than conventional computers can, including in areas such as material development, medicine and optimization.
There is still no approved general cure for enterovirus infections, but Norwegian trials appear promising.
Did you know that CO₂ is a gas that behaves in a special way? Transporting this greenhouse gas poses a challenge for pipelines.
Research shows that despite frequent evaluations, a lot remains unknown about the quality of municipal health and care services.
Imagine that the wires to your house not only have to withstand high electrical current flow, weather and wind, but also salt water, ocean currents, temperature changes and large movements. This is the big challenge in connecting large, electrical structures at sea to the power grid.
Norwegian seabirds are struggling. Svalbard seabirds have mercury levels above the threshold for deleterious effects on reproduction, researchers have found.
Such storage will be crucial if we are to halt climate change, which is already costing us enormous sums of money and causing suffering for humans and animals.
The lifetime of some Norwegian appliances, like washing machines and ovens, has in fact decreased over the last decades, a new study says. But the reason is most probably due to consumer preferences and not because of “planned obsolescence.”
We need to think more about the interaction between architecture, pedagogy and different forms of learning when we plan new schools, researchers say.
Using well-known offshore technology from the oil industry, along with a completely new idea, the founders of Farmocean-subsea want to create equipment for aquaculture at sea. Way out at sea.
Micro workouts are all the talk right now: researchers have found that effective physical activity in small doses provides great health benefits – both for the individual and society as a whole.
Norwegian hydropower provides stability in the power market, but a more even power consumption in Norwegian building stock could have an impact on the electricity production of hydropower, a new SINTEF study shows.
The world needs more of the valuable nutrients found in fish viscera, liver and roe. Yet, much of this raw material is being thrown back into the sea. There are good reasons to stop this wasteful practice.
