"Computational tools help identify the effects of fluids slamming against a structure". In "Modelling industrial processes: No joshing about sloshing" from 2011, SINTEF Materials and Chemistry's scientist Paal Skjetne sketches the challenges we are...
In Holmestrand, Norway, scrap aluminium gains a new lease of life – via energy-efficient technology, while Europe gets rolled recycled aluminium panels that are tough enough to be used as external cladding for buildings.
Norwegian scientists are extracting rare earth metals from scrap. Their aim is to prevent scarcity of materials from holding back energy-conservation efforts.
SINTEF Materials & Chemistry and ECN signed an agreement to strengthen their long-standing collaboration in the field of crystalline silicon photovoltaics. With this agreement SINTEF and ECN combine the operation of pilot infrastructure for silicon...
In a 1996 Donald Duck comic, inventor Gyro Gearloose has invented a super-machine that sorts cheap scrap and metal poured into a tube, while out of another pipe emerge gold and shiny new coins. Now, SINTEF scientists are trying to do the same thing.
According to a theory advanced by a SINTEF materials scientist, a mixture of water from sprinkler systems and molten aluminium from melted aircraft hulls created explosions that led to the collapse of the Twin Towers in Manhattan.
This powder has the colour of our cold northern nights. But it is hot news for everyone who wants to extract more electricity from sunshine.
