When disaster strikes, a small robot steps in to save lives. The researchers have dubbed it a “Smurf.” It uses its eyes, ears and nose to find survivors in collapsed buildings.

Bees do more than just pollinate plants. They are also nature’s own warning signal. Placing sensors in their hives allows researchers to see when the bees need help doing their job.

By leveraging advanced materials science and insights into superconducting materials, a new SINTEF project aims to develop next-generation sensors that will make quantum technology more accessible.

SINTEF experts on microchip technology are working on a method to detect biomarkers in our breath and to miniaturize a monitoring device. The project can help to discover symptoms of COPD earlier and change the lives of millions of people suffering...

"Together, we will work to ensure that Norway is ready when the quantum wave arrives," says Trond Runar Hagen, Executive Vice President of SINTEF Digital.

A new earplug can now serve as hearing protection, a music player, and a microphone – all at once! At the heart of this technology is a MEMS chip developed at SINTEF in collaboration with Minuendo.

(Joint press release) Imec expands Europractice portfolio by offering access to thin-film piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (piezoMEMS) fabrication services from SINTEF, a leading European independent research institute in Norway.

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.
