...ultrasound-based navigational system developed through an interdisciplinary collaboration over many years between technologists and physicians at SINTEF, NTNU, St. Olav’s Hospital and the company, Mison. The system produces a “road map” or, more precisely, a “body map” comprising 3D MR pictures taken of the...

And their contributions take no account of national boundaries. Stock photo: Erin Schaff/New York Times/NTB Notes ...

...have taken many thousands of human lives and caused massive destruction. For example in 2005, hurricane Katrina killed more than 2,000 people and caused damage worth about NOK 800 billion. In 2016, hurricane Matthew swept across Haiti, taking 852 human lives and destroying many towns on the island. Warm...

In January 2017, the Norwegian Ski Federation, the Norwegian Biathlon Federation, Trondheim municipality and researchers from SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) jointly received more than a million krone in funding from the Ministry of Culture in order to start...

In a similar process as roasting coffee beans, we can heat raw and unprocessed biomass. The result is a fuel with a number of advantageous properties. The process is called torrefaction. In a future where fossil fuels are phased out, and biomass are the only available carbon source for energy purposes...

A new method has been established by which the temperature and microstructural dependency of the flow stress in welding stress simulation tools such as WeldsimS can be relatively easily determined. The method is based on Satoh testing and on using an ideal plasticity law for the flow stress. It requires...

...artificial turf and other waste into reusable materials. Such a process is key to what we call the ‘circular economy’. One idea is to convert the artificial turf into chemicals that can be used to manufacture new plastic products. This will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and extend the lifetime...

Bellmann, a research scientist at SINTEF. “The silicon is melted in a container, a so-called crucible, and a single cylindrical silicon crystal is then extracted from the melt. The cylinder is then cut and shaped into a square block, which is then sawn into extremely thin silicon wafers just 0.13 millimetres...

Ph.D candidate Ailo Aasen has together with myself (his supervisor) and Edgar M. Blokhuis, a research partner at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, published a new article in the well reputed Journal of Chemical Physics. https://blog.sintef.com/sintefenergy/sintef-energy-article-included-...

Fisheries and Aquaculture This was shown by recent trials carried out in winds of up to severe gale force in Skarnsundet in the Trondheim Fjord. The area is notorious for its strong tidal currents, which range from zero to ten metres a second. The newly developed bubble curtain is 12 m long and 1.5 m wide...

..."The new pipes mean that we can measure fatigue development and thus get accurate estimates of pipeline lifetimes", says SINTEF-scientist Ole Øystein Knudsen.

...from SINTEF Marine Environmental Technology, StatoilHydro has entered into and financed the construction of an oil spill laboratory in Murmansk. The laboratory was officially opened on June 10 with representatives of Norwegian and Russian authorities in attendance. The laboratory has been established at...

Sealab. They provide an essential supply of oxygen to a tank of seawater in which little creatures swim freely. These zooplankton are called copepods, and are real vitamin ”bombs” for fish fry. These little tubes are in a laboratory at SINTEF Sealab. […] Photo: Unni Skoglund ...

One of the primary objectives of the GAIA II project has been to implement intersection algorithms for improving the quality and performance of CAD systems. In CAD there is no formal restriction of the degree rational parametric surfaces, however, the most used parametric surface is the bi-cubic rational...
