The warning couldn’t be clearer. Standard plastic grocery bags are useful when we’re out shopping, but don’t use them to store food. So says research scientist Lisbet Sørensen at SINTEF.
Researcher Hanne Haslene-Hox at SINTEF claims that bacteria are much better than their reputation suggests. Each of us hosts as many as 38 million of them in our bodies.
Too many people die in road traffic accidents. Full-scale driving simulator training can help change that trend. An AI driving instructor can tailor the instruction, and people who need to practice driving around roundabouts can complete 30 attempts in 30 minutes.
He’s been called the father of carbon capture and storage in Norway – but Erik Lindeberg isn’t resting on his laurels. At 76, he’s still crusading to make sure this technology is put to use as quickly and comprehensively as possible, to help the world avoid the worst consequences of global warming.
Plastic, and plastic pollution, are a huge problem for both human health and the environment. An interdisciplinary panel of experts suggests that politicians take three concrete steps to better understand and rein in this growing problem.
Trondheim’s Nidaros Cathedral is full of secrets, messages from the past written in stone. One researcher is now decoding these missives, half hidden in a very special spot in and around the most sacred place in the church.
Despite the effect smoking has on cancer, many people continue to smoke after receiving a cancer diagnosis. A simple test can help predict whether smokers are likely to succeed in quitting.
Youthful creativity is enhanced by artificial intelligence, but students are also asking valid, critical questions about how the technology affects education and learning.
It’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere and peak season for getting lost in the great outdoors. Learning new ways to find our way back can help us stay safe in the wild.
