Understanding tiny droplets can make for better weather forecasts
The study of tiny water droplets could result in more precise weather forecasts and climate models.
Uncovering secrets of ice that burns
Methane hydrates can be seen as a potential energy source or as a dangerous source of methane – a greenhouse gas that is 20 times more potent than CO2. With the help of a supercomputer and an interdisciplinary team, scientists have uncovered important details about their stability if they are disturbed by human-induced or natural forces.
New cancer treatment is gentler
A new option for cancer treatment is just as effective as, but less toxic than similar drugs.
Book detectives solve mysteries of yesteryear
NTNU’s Gunnerus Library in Trondheim contains a number of manuscripts with unknown origins. Using modern technology, researchers aim to find some of these manuscripts’ secrets.
