SINTEF experts on microchip technology are working on a method to detect biomarkers in our breath and to miniaturize a monitoring device. The project can help to discover symptoms of COPD earlier and change the lives of millions of people suffering from this disease.
Nanomedicines save lives, but they don’t reach the market or the patient’s body fast enough. Researchers have now come up with a recipe to accelerate and improve the process.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for buildings is an effective tool for achieving climate targets. The requirements must now be followed up with policy in Norway as well.
Digital technologies are creating many opportunities for the industry, but how can you ensure that you take advantage of these opportunities in practice? Researchers examine how and why in the new book “Digitalization and Sustainable Manufacturing – Twin Transition in Norway”.
Will we be able to trust text and images in the future? Deepfake is being used not just for innocent fun, but also to influence voters in the world’s most powerful countries.
It’s been a mystery for many years: Every day, tonnes of ferromanganese – an important additive in steel – are “locked” in slag on their way out of the furnaces. We are now getting close to solving this problem.
How can we increase our understanding and commitment to environmentally friendly architecture? There is much evidence to suggest that visualisation using AR can help us.
Ropes and fishing gear used in the fisheries and aquaculture industries are a major source of microplastics in the ocean and littering along the coastline. A multidisciplinary international research team has now drawn up a plan that will help to reduce pollution.
Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s can get better if they train at a high intensity, because high-intensity exercise activates the nervous system and helps to boost strength. Researchers are now developing an app to make training at home more effective, using a mobile phone as a personal trainer.
Fish welfare: Using a digital eye and artificial intelligence, scientists have found a way of monitoring the breathing of salmon. The method can reveal whether or not the fish are stressed.
That is the message from Atle Harby, senior researcher at SINTEF. He is a member of the expert committee tasked with looking at the socio-economic consequences of climate change.
Solar panels contain many valuable materials. Still, most of them end up discarded after use. Now researchers are investigating new ways of recycling.
Now the robot is able to grab objects that no other robot has been able to grab before. – A real “Matrix robot,” says researcher Ekrem Misimi.
The following is a short story about how stupid questions can change the course of an entire industry. And about how ingenious ideas can encounter opposition because they appear too good to be true.
Many great discoveries and inventions spring from basic research. That’s particularly true for medicine, but also for many other research areas.
It is essential that Norwegian towns and cities become climate-neutral. But how do we get this done? On the site of the old Oslo airport at Fornebu, researchers are demonstrating how real transformation can be implemented in practice.
Say hello to the robot called Bifrost. With the help of AI technology, it uses its tactile capabilities to manipulate soft and pliable objects to order. Bifrost is in fact a world-beater.
We throw away huge amounts of food. But would you change your behaviour if you knew the nutritional value of the food you waste?
A cure for global warming: Technologies exist that can get us out of this mess. Let’s take a look at them.
A recent innovation has the potential to accelerate the introduction of essential carbon capture processes in a range of industries. The technology has recently been demonstrated at a waste combustion plant in Bergen, with excellent results.
Have you been bitten by the running bug? If so, perhaps you’ve been asking yourself this very question. Well, we have the answer!
A new earplug can now serve as hearing protection, a music player, and a microphone – all at once! At the heart of this technology is a MEMS chip developed at SINTEF in collaboration with Minuendo.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) has commissioned a team of SINTEF researchers to measure the respective health impacts of walking, cycling and the use of e-scooters to get to work.
Research indicates that workplaces which encourage a healthy integration between their employees’ work and personal lives have a happier and better performing workforce.
