The researchers teach the packaging machine what is up and down on a snack carrot. The program runs on a small, local PC – not on huge servers in some far away cloud. The goal: To pack quickly, cheaply and attractively – so that consumers like us are tempted by locally sourced, healthy snacks.
Just like the cathedral itself, the wood that will be used for the new doors may hold secrets. That’s why researchers need to test the oak before the doors are built.
Your body absorbs alcohol much more rapidly after bariatric surgery. Patients need to know this when they choose the kind of surgery they will have.
A 100-year-old equation and a fibre-optic cable off the coast of Svalbard led researchers to discover they could detect swimming whales — even if they were completely silent. The discovery broadens the tools that biologists could someday use to detect and monitor these marine giants.
Modern large-scale warfare imposes extreme psychological stress on soldiers at the front. Ukrainian soldiers are being trained in Norway to help better protect them from this trauma.
In the Lofoten archipelago off Norway’s northern west coast, a rescue helicopter circles over a cruise ship. Soon, two people and a large bag are lowered onto the deck. Then a line is launched over to the coast guard ship that is right next to it. The cruise ship is ready to be towed. Fortunately, this is only an exercise to test the new equipment and not a real emergency.
A revolutionary protective shoe concept adapts to the needs of users in a new way and provides increased comfort and minimizes strain.
What happens when you disrupt a fish’s natural rhythm? The use of light in fish farms can stress the fish and prevent them from sleeping or developing properly. New research now makes it possible to measure light from the fish’s point of view. This could greatly improve fish health.
More than 70 per cent of the Earth is covered by oceans. An increasing amount of critical infrastructure is being installed on the seabed. Sabotage and accidents increase the need for inspection and monitoring. These measures are currently very expensive, but the hope is that they can soon be carried out by robots that are permanently stationed on the seabed.
– We have developed self-mitigating batteries that deliver high performance while using fewer critical raw materials. This is good news for European self-sufficiency, says the researcher.
Why do some Norwegian hospitals treat infants’ eye disease more often than others?
The Kavli Prize 2026 has been awarded to researchers who have provided us with groundbreaking knowledge in their fields.
Pepper the friendly, humanoid robot both looks and behaves much like a human being. But is that enough?
People who are resilient to psychological stress are similar to each other – not in terms of appearance, but in the brain’s response to stressful stimuli.
The armed forces want local food. Farmers want to deliver. But regulations, framework agreements and a lack of logistics are obstacles to getting locally raised food to the soldiers.
Uncrewed vessels that navigate themselves and notify operators when they need support from shore-based navigators. However, such ships also require an international regulatory framework. Now, the first version is in place, largely thanks to Norwegian research.
There are 55 species of gulls in the world, but less than half have been observed in Norway. Here you can learn a little about the most common gulls in the land of the Vikings.
Implementing effective monitoring measures could yield much more energy from the cable network – all without digging a single new trench. Just a dream scenario? No, it is entirely possible, say researchers.
Do you occasionally hear a low buzzing or humming sound that doesn’t have a clear source? Then you’re among the estimated 2-4 per cent of the world’s population who hear this. Scientists have been trying to figure out for decades where this sound comes from.
How can Norway provide new renewable energy sources to meet future needs while still protecting its natural environment, and the plants and animals that live there?
Modern sails on large ships are becoming increasingly common to save fuel – and also the climate. Now a research team is looking at how to maximize their benefits, and that turns out to be more complicated than anticipated.
New research supports what trade unions have always claimed: unionization pays off. Unions contribute to higher wages for both genders, and because women are the main winners, helps close the wage gap between the sexes.
The global consumption of clothing is enormous. However, a significant portion of the textile fibres is lost before the garments even reach the market.
Private health insurance contributes to poorer health among people with the lowest levels of education.
