Fridtjof Nansen travelled the polar regions as both an explorer and a scientist. Ten research institutions followed in Nansen’s footsteps in a collaborative investigation of the Barents Sea. Their 6-year effort has now been documented in a new book.
It can take up to 200 years for damaged marine environments to fully recover by just stopping the destruction and leaving the ecosystems to themselves. That is why we must implement active restoration interventions.
The mechanisms in the brain that should reduce pain don’t work as well in people with migraine when they haven’t gotten enough sleep.
When new technology fails, it’s not always because it does not work as intended. Sometimes, people simply don’t want to use it. One researcher believes this should be predictable.
The need to cool down computers eats into the world’s energy consumption. By using liquid instead of air, we can save large amounts of energy and at the same time produce heat.
Are you young, female, well-educated, in a job, and live in a big city in a rich EU country? If you answer yes to all these questions, you’re probably among people who are most satisfied with your life.

How low does pay have to be before people can no longer be bothered to work?
Would you adjust your electricity consumption if you received a notification on your mobile phone telling you when electricity was going to be most expensive the following day? Research shows that good information can influence our energy consumption.
Cosmic rays occasionally contain enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from. New research may have found the answer.
Every Norwegian Jew had their homes, possessions and businesses confiscated by the Nazis. Yet significant assets were not returned or replaced when the war was over.
The wind’s sweep across desert sand provides important information in the hunt for methane gas leaking from oil platforms. Researchers have now applied this knowledge in the hunt for the climate change driver methane.
Physicists have now discovered a material that can be very useful in crafting tomorrow’s quantum technology: clay.
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.
