Graphene coatings – an eco-friendly alternative
Tired of hauling your boat out of the water to clean its hull? Graphene can replace the toxic chemicals usually used to do this job.
Can biology reveal parental manipulation?
Parental alienation is when one parent manipulates the child into distancing themselves from the other parent. But does this leave detectable biological evidence?
ERC grants totalling NOK 48 million for projects on ecojustice and a more efficent power grid
The European Research Council has awarded two grants to NTNU researchers for very different projects related to the environment.
First complete record of global underground CO₂ storage
The first-ever audited account of the actual amounts of CO2 stored underground by CCS projects globally has been released. It was created by a new international consortium of scientists and industrial partners, including NTNU.
AI could become the healthcare system’s own medicine
AI has become a tool that more and more people are using to create both text and images. But AI can also help a pressured healthcare system.
New Norwegian investment in quantum technology research
Quantum technology makes it possible to solve far more complex computational challenges than conventional computers can, including in areas such as material development, medicine and optimization.
New depressurization tool prevents pipeline ruptures during CO₂ transport
Did you know that CO₂ is a gas that behaves in a special way? Transporting this greenhouse gas poses a challenge for pipelines.
The phenomenon that converts all kinds of heat into electricity
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.
New book on digitalisation and sustainability in Norwegian goods manufacturing
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”.
NTNU physicist honoured in Australia
Physicist Sol Jacobsen from QuSpin has been awarded a prestigious award.
We are lagging behind finding measures to combat climate change
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.
Pioneering New Solutions to Recycle Solar Panels
Solar panels contain many valuable materials. Still, most of them end up discarded after use. Now researchers are investigating new ways of recycling.
Should you warm up before you go for a run?
Have you been bitten by the running bug? If so, perhaps you’ve been asking yourself this very question. Well, we have the answer!
Cycling versus e-scooters – what are the health impacts?
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.
A walk in the woods in the middle of your working day can boost your performance
Research indicates that workplaces which encourage a healthy integration between their employees’ work and personal lives have a happier and better performing workforce.
Cancer drug can kill resistant bacteria
A drug being tested for cancer treatment can probably also be used to kill bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
Why we get seasick – and how to avoid it
Everyone gets seasick, says researcher Toralf Sundin Hamstad at SINTEF, but there are tricks we can employ to avoid the worst of it.
Why are there traffic jams, and what can we do to avoid them?
No one likes sitting in a traffic jam. Research shows that the average Norwegian motorist is willing to fork out almost 100 kroner in order to spend one hour less in traffic. But traffic congestion can also be mitigated.
Don’t store food in plastic grocery bags!
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.
We should be happy that we have so many bacteria in our bodies
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.
Smart collaboration on future technology
TOPOCOM is bringing together leading European research institutions to work on a project that could replace today’s electronics.
A master’s student has tracked down greenhouse gas figures much needed by researchers
Climate scientists often lack the data they need for their calculations. A master’s student has helped to track down key figures from Africa’s most populous country.
Bulk carriers can also be green
Research scientists from 16 countries are joining forces to make a bulk carrier climate neutral – all with the help of a new power train.
