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.
Micro workouts are all the talk right now: researchers have found that effective physical activity in small doses provides great health benefits – both for the individual and society as a whole.
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.
When your cells are about to divide, your genetic material folds into an X-shape. Why and how?
Tests show that it is possible to cut up to 33 percent of energy consumption using smart heating controllers. The system is based on multiple factors, including future electricity prices and weather data.
If electric vehicles were lighter, they would also be more energy efficient. Of course researchers are eager to make that happen. With aluminium.
Constructing offshore wind turbines is both costly and challenging, but researchers are working to make offshore wind more profitable and secure.
Far below the earth’s surface is an energy source with huge and perpetual potential: geothermal heat. But the forces in its scorching and inhospitable depths must be tamed. Now scientists know what that will take.
Researchers have investigated the mental health of all of Norway’s Lebanon and Afghanistan veterans. One factor determines whether they struggle after having killed another person.
How climate-friendly is the urban development in your municipality? A new tool helps planners compare alternatives.
Poorer gross motor skills, such as the ability to walk quickly, run, or jump, may explain some of the correlation between being born prematurely and the tendency to engage less in physical activity.
Rape myths such as ‘scantily clad’ and ‘being promiscuous’ can influence sentencing in Norwegian courtrooms. In court cases where victims are described in a prejudiced manner, defendants typically receive prison sentences that are 16 months shorter than in cases without such descriptions.
The Norwegian-developed sensor node detects where transmission lines have available space. It also means that grid companies could avoid building new, expensive and controversial power lines.
World-famous treasures crafted from walrus ivory are on their way to Norway, including chess pieces from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Were they originally from Norway? And why did the walrus trade disappear?
The transport of dense gases and liquids is becoming increasingly relevant in relation to carbon capture. New research is helping us understand more about how this can be done most efficiently.
The goal is to eliminate both charging anxiety and environmental concerns. Now researchers have created the “recipe” to do it.
Firefighters do hard physical work while being exposed to great heat strain. Now we know more about what happens to their body temperature during a smoke dive.
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.
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.
The climate benefits if only a few people have a lot of power and money. So, should the rest of us be held back because of this fact?
“It would be boring if you could never have a party! The challenge is to do it in a way that the cost is in a reasonable proportion to the benefit to society,” says researcher Denis Becker about the 2025 World Ski Championships in Trondheim.
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.
New technology aims to enable us to always do even more. A researcher has issued a warning about what this ‘efficiency hysteria’ is doing to us and our workplaces.
