The traditional way of running a project with a beginning and an end will soon be history. The scientists have a smarter solution.

The elderly may find that using a smartphone is difficult and incomprehensible, while the disabled may encounter problems because phone operation requires delicate motor functions. But one inventor saw no reason for it to be this way – and has found...

In Italy, researchers and drilling technologists are on the verge of making a geological breakthrough. They're drilling deep enough to find what they call 'supercritical' water. If they succeed it will be a major technological breakthrough.

Researchers have developed a robot that adjusts its movements in order to avoid colliding with the people and objects around it. This provides new opportunities for more friendly interaction between people and machines.

The robots of the future must be able to adapt to changes in their surroundings. Some of them will be in close contact with people. At the very least they must be able to see properly – in three dimensions, just like us.

We don’t just want the best. We want the very best.

If scientists get their way, we will soon be able to measure grandma’s acceleration. If she has a fall, that is.

SINTEF has, under contract for the Norwegian Agency for Public Sector Management and eGovernment (Difi), carried out a needs assessment within public sector administration looking into support for activities linked to information security.
