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.
The substructures for fixed offshore wind turbines weigh thousands of tonnes. If you are planning to install them at sea, only about five vessels in the world can lift that much weight. So now researchers are testing a completely new alternative.
That fish eat insects and bristle worms is nothing new. But can we farm insects for use in fish feed when they are fed on food waste? New research shows that this can be safe, if handled correctly.
Salmon usually go about their lives quietly, unless they are stressed. Their clicking sound is so unusual that researchers don’t even know if they make the sound with their heads or – yes, the other end.
SINTEF and a range of European partners will contribute to a safer Europe through our underwater and maritime technologies.
A floating offshore power plant combining wave energy converters, a wind turbine and solar panels must withstand high waves and strong winds whilst generating electricity. This being tested at SINTEF.
Artificial intelligence provides good answers to mental health questions. Young people even like ChatGPT’s responses better than healthcare professionals’ advice.
New technology and automation have radically changed production practices. Workers now lift around 20 tonnes less fish – each day – than they used to.
Connecting ships to charging stations is a bit of a hassle when you are out at sea. But with a new magnetic charging plug for boats – it is about as easy as putting a cup in a cup holder.
Svalbard’s cultural heritage and infrastructure face increasing risks as climate change accelerates permafrost thaw and ground instability. The PermaRICH project unites experts across disciplines to evaluate these risks, and guide stakeholders...
