...mobility and access. As part of a project commissioned by the ESA, researchers are to continue with this work and are carrying out a preliminary study to examine the technology and other opportunities for utilising robots in space. “More ambitious applications include potential activities on comets and the...

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. One of SINTEF Materials and Chemistry’s laboratory halls on Gløshaugen in Trondheim is dominated...

This will save time, energy, money and large volumes of waste materials. Photo: Raufoss Technology Standard Aluminium plays a key role in reducing the weight of a car and thus also helps to reduce fuel consumption. A modern car contains large amounts of aluminium and use of the metal is on the increase...

...on your phone?   By Åse Dragland We seem to be drowning in ‘intelligent things’ and IT services. In our smart home, we can use various applications to control the front door, TV, washing machine, vacuum, heating and blinds. Other apps enable us to find out what time the bus is leaving, or book a table...

The more the bumper and front of the car deform, the better it is for the people inside a car during a car crash. That is how NTNU experts evaluated the car that cross-country ski racing star Petter Northug drove off road on 4 May last year. Photo: Henrik Sundgård A good car collision should look like...

Lundmark Daae. The oil industry is heading north. It is said that 30 per cent of remaining gas, and 13 per cent of remaining oil, reserves are to be found in the Arctic. We’re talking about billions. The Snøhvit and Goliat projects are being developed for operation in temperatures of minus 20 degrees. In the...

Trygve Brautaset and his colleagues at SINTEF work in the discipline known as synthetic biology. Both groups are working on the industrial use of microorganisms – to which they have given new properties. Venter’s goal is to end up with a synthetic bacterium that can efficiently use sunlight and CO₂ from the...
