When the temperature drops to -20°C, we electric car owners quickly notice it on our wallets. But is it just a matter of driving with the heat on full blast? And what can we do to save the battery as much as possible?
Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial emissions.
Hybrid cars have been successful. Now the aviation industry is following suit and testing out the combination of electricity and fuel.
Building a port on land takes time. On water, the job can be done quickly. Hagbart Skage Alsos and his research colleagues at SINTEF are investigating how to build floating ports.
Nurses are increasingly overloaded. This is especially true in nursing homes and in home care, as shown by the results of the latest nursing survey.
One of Norway’s largest production kitchens makes 2500 meals a day. The focus on food waste, simple tools and identifying deviations shows that it is possible to save 300 meals a month through donations.
European coastal areas are under increasing pressure. Researchers are investigating ways to reverse this trend and help communities adapt to climate change.
Fishing alone is a dangerous occupation. A new safety alarm could save lives by automatically stopping the boat and alerting the Coastal Radio Service and nearby vessels.
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.
A new tool is helping researchers simulate erosion and climate change, turning data into action.
“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.
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.
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.
Premature babies are particularly susceptible to strong sensory impressions and high sound levels from the incubator. Now researchers will look at what can be done to protect children’s hearing and development.
You’ve just bought a new apartment. The developer followed the minimum building code requirements. So shouldn’t everything be in order? Extensive research indicates that the answer is unfortunately no.
By using two propellers that rotate in opposite directions, a ship can use less energy to move forward. New knowledge means that more ships can use the technology, including Hurtigruten’s Sea Zero project for its coastal cruise ships.
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease often have to wait a long time to find the right medicine. But the methods of a large interdisciplinary research team offer hope.
When crossing a border, truck drivers have to deal with various national regulations, digital customs clearance and legal liability. But who takes over that job when the vehicle is driverless?
If a worn propeller requires repair, the CO2 footprint will be a full 40 percent lower if the job is done in Norway than if the repair is done in China, the researchers write in this article.
Artificial intelligence of the future will be in the form of small, specialized models.
Waiting until water damage occurs is expensive. But it also doesn’t make financial sense to replace pipes too early. We looked into the best time to do it.
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.
