Wouldn’t it be great if you could just take a picture of yourself with your mobile phone and sew your own clothes – in exactly the right size and fit? The solution is on the way.

A recent sustainability study from the ZeroKyst project has examined whether Norwegian fishing vessels can realistically use battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell technologies to achieve zero emissions.

To gain more knowledge about how ultra-processed food affects us, we need new research methods, claim researchers. Now they are looking to better understand our intestinal flora.

A small revolution is happening in the fishing industry. Freshly frozen fish can now be thawed in a new way, and that means you will have access to super-fresh food from the sea – even if you live thousands of miles away.

A new tool is helping researchers simulate erosion and climate change, turning data into action.

“That’s the dream,” says researcher Hanne Dalsvåg. If the researchers succeed, in the future you might be able to buy vegetables wrapped in packaging made from waste carrot or potato residues.

Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when electricity is cheap and releases heat when needed.

Metals from Norway are often praised for their low carbon footprint. But right now, it matters even more that they are produced in a European democracy.

Can we decarbonise hard-to-abate industry without losing competitiveness? SINTEF’s official UNFCCC side event at COP30 explored real-world innovations that can cut emissions while improving energy efficiency.

On 9 and 10 December, SINTEF Energy Research hosted the sixth annual Thermal Energy Storage (TES) workshop in Trondheim.

At a time when technological innovation and European defense cooperation are more important than ever, the ARMETISS project is in full swing, developing the next generation of soldier systems.

Premature babies are particularly susceptible to strong sensory impressions and high sound levels from the incubator. Now researchers will look at what can be done to protect children’s hearing and development.

How will Norway position itself in relation to Europe’s new industry policy for net-zero technologies? A key focus of the 2025 gigaCCS Consortium Days was the EU’s Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), and the impact this would have on Norway’s CCS plans.

Rising global temperatures are increasing the demand for cooling, whether for air conditioning or industrial processes. Yet, the systems that keep us cool can themselves contribute to climate change through energy use and refrigerant emissions.

At their most extreme, the Nordic countries and South America are literally close to poles apart. Yet despite their differences, the two regions share a number of important similarities – not least, the opportunities presented by clean hydrogen for...
