Highlights of MRST 2020a The new release comes with a number of bug fixes, improvements and increased documentation coverage. We especially highlight: Several new modules for domain decomposition and standardized setup of examples. A much faster direct-assembly AD backend with a corresponding linear...

If Elfy succeeded, the aircraft of the future might be electric, environmentally friendly, more quiet, and able to fly shorter routes from more locations. In this 260 metre-long research tank, a model of the hull is towed at different angles to find the optimal shape. Photo: SINTEF Standard A Norwegian...

SINTEF made an operating profit of NOK 106 million in 2014, and a pre-tax profit of NOK 143 million. A number of one-off items have had a positive effect on the financial result, but profit from ordinary operations has been inadequate. Gross operating revenues were NOK 2936 million compared with NOK...

Standard Today’s AI is artificial intelligence, but it just talks. It doesn’t make a single decision, and it doesn’t make things happen. We’re talking about ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseek, Gemini, Grok, Meta AI and the other AI variants that you hear about all the time. They are just language models. Now a brand...

...production is based on traceable, sustainable raw materials, is the message of our bloggers. It is clear that the environmental impact of biofuels and their costs are mainly dependent on the feedstock that is used to produce the fuel. Most biofuels produced today come from sugar, starch or oil-rich-plants...

There is an infinite amount of energy lying right beneath our feet. It is a renewable and stable energy source – free...

The best of both worlds The recipe is a combination of casting and forging. The method is based on an idea from SINTEF Materials and Chemistry, and it is currently being tested out by SINTEF and the Norwegian companies Raufoss Technology and Farsund Aluminium Casting in a four-year collaborative project...
