Artificial intelligence is making it easier for researchers and industry to develop fast and accurate methods for calculating ship resistance.

Many large circuit breakers are filled with sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) – a greenhouse gas that is 24 300 times more powerful than CO₂. But an ingenious Norwegian solution could offer us a climate-friendly alternative.

The fishing and aquaculture industries are major consumers of plastic. Feed hoses, nets and ropes all contain plastic – and even washing fish farming nets can be a culprit. But research shows that simple methods can reduce emissions.

Vibrations in the ground are found everywhere. They occur when cars pass by, when machines are operating, or when the earth’s crust moves. For most of us, these are invisible forces. For researchers, however, they represent something far more...

The new NORHyWAY project represents an investment of almost one thousand million euros, and aims to increase Norwegian green hydrogen production to 37,081 tonnes per year by 2030. Enabled by EU financing, the project positions Norway as a European...

When the temperature drops to -20°C, we electric car owners quickly notice it on our wallets. But is it just a matter of driving with the heat on full blast? And what can we do to save the battery as much as possible?

As demand for data centres grows, a new project will explore how they can be developed with lower peak power demand, better heat recovery, smarter grid integration and reduced impact on the environment.

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial emissions.

Hybrid cars have been successful. Now the aviation industry is following suit and testing out the combination of electricity and fuel.

Each year, hundreds of rescue missions are conducted along the coasts of Norway and Denmark. Under challenging conditions, both volunteers and professional rescue crews work to save humans lives and equipment.

Building a port on land takes time. On water, the job can be done quickly. Hagbart Skage Alsos and his research colleagues at SINTEF are investigating how to build floating ports.

Nurses are increasingly overloaded. This is especially true in nursing homes and in home care, as shown by the results of the latest nursing survey.

One of Norway’s largest production kitchens makes 2500 meals a day. The focus on food waste, simple tools and identifying deviations shows that it is possible to save 300 meals a month through donations.

Climate change is increasing the risk of flooding and other extreme events across Norway, placing greater emphasis on climate adaptation measures that deliver the highest socio-economic benefit.

European coastal areas are under increasing pressure. Researchers are investigating ways to reverse this trend and help communities adapt to climate change.
