A revolutionary protective shoe concept adapts to the needs of users in a new way and provides increased comfort and minimizes strain.

The government's Expert committee on climate adaptation delivered its final report today with a clear central message: climate change will be felt in all parts of society, and adaptation is a shared responsibility.

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...

– 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.

Coordinated by SINTEF, the new EU-funded project OLiMPUS will develop and produce European LMFP||graphite battery cells that combine high performance with reduced reliance on critical raw materials.

A new Nordic-Baltic alliance of leading research and technology organisations (RTOs) was officially launched in Brussels on June 9, aimed at strengthening Europe’s total defence and resilience through closer collaboration on critical technologies and...

The H2science conference returned for its second year, bringing together researchers, industry professionals and policymakers for two days focussed on the future of hydrogen.

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...

With the right investments, commitment, and collaboration, Joachim Mathiesen, Director of the Niels Bohr Institute, believes that the Nordic region can become the third-largest player in quantum technology worldwide.

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.

The new pilot-scale facility at the SINTEF Process Technology Centre will provide a unique arena for developing and testing green biotechnological solutions at a larger scale. Initially, the plant will be used to test technology for converting CO...

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.

Wildlife fences and wildlife crossings are expensive – and they have mixed results. Now researchers have studied what is needed to prevent cars and trains from colliding with animals.

Huge amounts of clothing are simply discarded, and almost nothing goes to reuse or recycling. But with sensors and artificial intelligence, textile waste can be sorted so carefully that far more could be recycled – and turned into new clothing.
