Biomass has played a key role in the Spanish Principality of Asturias’ transition away from coal. Could its sustainable use support regional growth and energy resilience in Norway too?
Can AI agents get geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers to work more closely together? Two summer researchers at SINTEF developed a prototype together with Geoteric, who brought the result to one of the world's largest conferences for...
Currently, water samples must be transported to a laboratory to reveal pollution. But new sensor technology is enabling researchers to measure pesticides in the water on site – and get the results right away.
Resident involvement is often described as the weakest link in sustainable urban development. A new study suggests a practical solution to the problem.
SINTEF and VARD have signed a strategic partnership agreement to strengthen research, technology development and innovation in future maritime solutions. The aim is to meet the industry’s needs in the energy transition and accelerate the development...
mRNA-based drugs are emerging as the drug of the future for a wide range of diseases, but they are difficult and time-consuming to develop. A new method based on human blood could make this easier.
Time is running out for the climate – can geoengineering buy us some more? A new report from SINTEF explores technologies that could help reverse climate change.
We need more electricity, and the power grid must be expanded significantly. But how much and how quickly? This is how “monster masts” and expensive power expansion can be postponed.
Installing just four percent of Europe’s commercial buildings with a Thermal Box from Norway — about the size of an American industrial refrigerator — would spare Europe the need to build seven nuclear power plants.
What’s one of the most difficult things for a robot to do that hasn’t already been done? How about a robot that can see, understand, grasp and cut soft, slippery and deformable objects – without destroying them?
Chinese car manufacturers aren’t the only ones trying to develop new types of batteries. New materials are being tested in Norwegian laboratories to make batteries lighter, cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
Researchers say such a transformation is absolutely doable. A new European research project will no longer treat CO2 as waste, but as a resource in innovative value chains. This has the potential to lead to fewer emissions and completely new products...
Artificial intelligence in the wrong hands can shape people’s political perceptions by spreading a false picture of reality. Lack of transparency in tech platforms has become a threat, according to researcher.
A new platform based on open standards will make it possible to connect seismic interpretation directly with reservoir simulation. The goal is faster, better decision-making for energy companies – and more systematic management of uncertainty.
The chemical tanker Bow Olympus saves five tonnes of fuel per day through the use of sail technology and AI-enhanced weather routing.
