How can we save wild salmon from extinction, and at the same time ensure farmed salmon a life free from lice and other suffering? Research uncovers critical challenges related to management, fish welfare, monitoring and control in the aquaculture industry.
This new invention could make today’s heavy electric vehicle batteries lighter, safer and increase their range. The researchers behind the technology believe it is also ideal for use in aviation, space travel, drones and shipping.
A new method makes it possible to gain an extensive overview of the materials in our homes. It could be an important step toward a more circular economy.
Researchers have been studying algae that eat kelp instead of making their own sugar. The findings open up new ways of making all kinds of useful things out of kelp.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Researchers are growing the food of the future in this laboratory: meat that uses kelp as an alternative to animal-based ingredients.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
Insidious bacteria could cause trouble for the sprinkler wave that is now rolling in across Norway if the tiny organisms are not taken seriously.
If electric vehicles were lighter, they would also be more energy efficient. Of course researchers are eager to make that happen. With aluminium.
A box the size of a refrigerator that supplies a home – and perhaps ten neighbouring houses – with electricity. That’s Ole Martin Løvvik’s dream at SINTEF.
They won’t feature at this year’s World Championships in Trondheim, but NTNU researchers believe the world’s fastest and most flexible cross-country skis will be ready for the 2027 World Championships in Falun.
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.
Climate change is affecting the Sámi rhythm of life and their faith in the future. Yet Norwegian and Swedish reindeer herders see predators, forestry and wind farms as greater threats.
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.
Solar panels contain many valuable materials. Still, most of them end up discarded after use. Now researchers are investigating new ways of recycling.
We throw away huge amounts of food. But would you change your behaviour if you knew the nutritional value of the food you waste?
Norway’s waste policy falls short of its goals because of inaccurate measurement methods, unreliable data and a lack of transparency about where Norwegian waste ends up, researchers say.
