Improving the range of electric vehicles
If electric vehicles were lighter, they would also be more energy-efficient. Not surprisingly, this is a problem researchers are working on – using aluminium.

Women and men differ in drive, passion and flow, a new study shows.
Now the robot is able to grab objects that no other robot has been able to grab before. – A real “Matrix robot,” says researcher Ekrem Misimi.
More than 100 years ago, visionary and socially engaged individuals were at the forefront of a groundbreaking cooperative housing project in Trondheim. Trondhjems Kooperative Boligselskap at Rosenborg is a relatively unknown gem.
Previously, researchers thought that microRNA was a kind of useless residue in cells and blood. But these tiny threads are far more important than some imagined. Also for those who study wildlife.
A rare type of blood cancer called chronic myelogenous leukaemia could benefit from new research that can help identify which medicine will work best.
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.
Women with severe pelvic floor disorders are four times more likely to avoid sex than women who experience milder symptoms.
Almost four months after it left Earth in one of Elon Musk’s rockets, the small satellite HYPSO-2 is in full swing, monitoring coastal and ocean areas.
Forget gender, ethnic background, and age. When it comes to cutting carbon emissions, it’s the board’s diversity in skills, expertise, experience and insider/outsidership that matters.
Hidden and forgotten traces of Iceland’s history can be found in ancient, reused parchments.
Volunteers are increasingly providing care when family and public services cannot provide enough. But how close should the helper and the person being helped become?
By now, most people know that a regular diet of animal-based products isn’t a good choice for the planet. But how bad are these foods, really?
Underwater robots, combined with simple instruments from 100 years ago, are helping researchers unlock the secrets of microscopic marine organisms called plankton.
Those who believe they will be able to achieve their goals are also more passionate and have greater willpower.
The following is a short story about how stupid questions can change the course of an entire industry. And about how ingenious ideas can encounter opposition because they appear too good to be true.
Two associate professors at NTNU have been awarded roughly NOK 43 million from the European Research Council to study molecular models and gene variations that can affect animal survival.
The bishop’s men plundered the king’s fortress. Then they threw a dead man into the well to poison it. Now we know more about the deceased.
It’s been 10 years since Norwegian neuroscientists May-Britt and Edvard Moser won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with their former mentor and colleague John O’Keefe. Listen to the Mosers themselves tell the story of how they came to discover grid cells, the neurons that help form a GPS in the brain.
It is essential that Norwegian towns and cities become climate-neutral. But how do we get this done? On the site of the old Oslo airport at Fornebu, researchers are demonstrating how real transformation can be implemented in practice.
The delivery of nanomedicines using gas bubbles has shown itself to be a unique way of transporting cytotoxins to the lungs of cancer patients. The method enables precise and focused treatments, and the local action of the drugs also prevents a range of side-effects.
Climate scientists often lack the information they need for their climate models. A master’s student helped to find important figures from Africa’s most populous country – Nigeria.
Say hello to the robot called Bifrost. With the help of AI technology, it uses its tactile capabilities to manipulate soft and pliable objects to order. Bifrost is in fact a world-beater.
It wasn’t that long ago that we knew very little about the state of people’s health around the world. NTNU’s new honorary doctors have used 300,000 sources to provide us with an overview.
