They are available today, and it up to us to choose to utilise them – or not. It will be incredibly expensive...
Our bodies cannot distinguish between nanoparticles and viruses, but we have immune cells that specialise in consuming and removing viruses. However, the same cells also consume nanodrugs, and this may offer us new immunotherapies to help combat cancer. Stock photo: Shutterstock Standard Researchers...

Such mixing of the available microBUILDER technologies allows for improved functionality and higher performance of a variety of new...
According to the textbooks, both high doses of chlorine and hot water are lethal to legionella bacteria. But now Norwegian scientists are sounding the alarm that the bacteria can survive these treatments, by hiding in amoebae. by Svein Tønseth Legionella bacteria can cause deadly pneumonia via our shower...
Live start-feed, cultivated in Trondheim, has enabled large numbers of lobster and tuna fry to survive in tanks. Now, SINTEF is setting up a production plant that will supply the world market with the feed. With the establishment of the Norwegian company C-Feed, small copepods are destined to become...

Dalen-Lorentsen, who has a PhD in sports medicine and has worked closely with elite sportsmen and women, doesn’t think that warming up is appropriate in all situations. He believes that it all depends on the kind of activity session you’re planning to do. Because warming up and the activity itself are essentially...
