Researchers have discovered a new method of activating enzymes that may make it possible to repair proteins that have been damaged as a result of hereditary diseases, such as some types of skin cancer.
SINTEF’s Bjørn Gustavsen has been awarded the Norwegian National Committee of the International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRÉ)’s Scientific Award.
Very soon, there will be enormous numbers of used EV batteries available, but we have yet to work out how we will be organising the reuse of this massive resource.
At the boundary between the land and sea, there exists an ecosystem that has been overlooked by Norwegians for so long that it was only recently given an official name. But studies are revealing that it has some very desirable properties.
The FLEX4FACT project officially started on 1 June 2022 and will run for 42 months. A hybrid kick-off meeting held on 16-17 June brought together 23 organisations from 5 European countries representing the consortium. During the...
Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of cancer. Treatments are available, but they are demanding on patients and less than 30 percent survive. But mRNA technology is offering new hope for higher survival rates because treatments target the...
As part of a six-year research project, researchers have succeeded in developing a membrane that captures CO2 in an entirely innovative way. Their work has resulted in an article published in the prestigious research periodical Science Magazine.
Over the past two years, webinars have become a cornerstone of NCCS’ dissemination and communication strategy. Even though we are now returning to in-person meetings following the COVID-19 pandemic, digital events like webinars remain relevant, as...
Using non-recyclable plastic waste as an alternative to coal may prevent huge volumes of plastic from being discarded into the oceans – and will also reduce CO2 emissions. This is the conclusion of a recently completed pilot project headed by SINTEF...
High-temperature heat pumps are no longer simply for idealists. They’re contributing to more than just climate accounting, and industrial companies are standing in line to learn more.
The idea behind batteries is to make the planet greener, but they all start their lives as energy-demanding environmental liabilities. Research scientists at SINTEF have succeeded in making batteries cheaper and simpler using a process that requires...
On Friday 20 May, SINTEF Research Scientist Ingrid Snustad gave a presentation on carbon capture and storage (CCS) to a room of approx. 600 Norwegian school children in Oslo, Norway.
NTNU and SINTEF celebrated today the official opening of HighEFFLab: a national research infrastructure for experimental research in the field of energy efficiency.
What if a concrete building could heat itself – while being built? Research scientists are about to make this dream a reality.
With this seaplane you will be able to take off from Trondheim Fjord or Flesland Airport in Bergen, Norway, and land in the Geiranger Fjord one hour later.
