We support groupes like foot ball, hand ball, orienteering, tennis, golf, bowling, mountain climbing, and individual activities like ski, running, cycling...
Piezoelectric thin films for integration with MEMS have been studied intensively at laboratory scale. Innovative ideas for new types of sensors, actuators and other products based on silicon MEMS technology, especially in SMEs. The production is very demanding.

..."LSMG" is a method for making surface from scattered data points by error minimalization (least squares). It is more computational and memory demanding than the MBA-algorithm. However, in some case the result is “better”. The code is implemented in C++. LSMG - Least Squares Approximation of Scattered...

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN estimates that a third of all food produced on the planet is wasted. This isn’t simply just an economic or ethical problem, but also causes major environmental damage due to greenhouse gas emissions. In industrial countries, most waste is generated in retail...

Tesla has been testing self-driving cars for many years, and NTNU was able to participate behind the scenes as part of a recently published study. Tesla has produced several versions of its autopilot AI tool, which has become better and better...
...implementation and further development of this low carbon technology. Unlocking the benefits of heat pump technology requires a set of coherent measures. This includes creating a regulatory framework that facilitates the acceptance of industrial heat pumps, setting up a European information and knowledge...

...our research. The polymers under study are water soluble or amphiphilic (i.e. containing both water soluble and insoluble structural units), polyelectrolytes (electrically charged polymers) and thermally responsive polymers. Thermally responsive polymers are ones which dissolve in water around room temperature...
Offshore Directorate. Viewpoints Seabed minerals: Here’s something you probably don’t know. The copper found in the Norwegian mines at Røros and Løkken, and which once made the country very wealthy, was formed from smoking ‘chimneys’ on the ocean floor. In the Earth’s remote past, this copper was carried...

... The Institute needs a period of quiet, and a stable leadership team”, states Lysne, who intends to set up a new consulting company in the field of petroleum technology. Lysne emphasises that he has very much enjoyed his time at SINTEF Petroleum Research, and is looking forward to cooperating professionally...
...project: Objective: The main objective of the project is to develop and apply a method for validation of numerical ship models used in engineering tools for studies of ships' manoeuvring performance in deep and restricted waters and ship handling training simulators. This will be done by comparing outcomes...
...fishing boat and is to date the only one of its kind. The Arctic Pearl is the first vessel for more than 30 years to be given the go-ahead to harvest Iceland scallop from the rich habitats found in Norwegian waters. The seabed harvesting technology installed on board is entirely new and cannot be compared...

Koshutanski and Alejandro Garcia Bedoya’s Spanish unit at ATOS have developed a prototype for cyber security tool that can be useful for power grid companies. “We came...
...heat of planet Earth. It exists in huge amounts, is completely renewable and emits no CO2. “What we have done so far is no more than to scratch the surface of the Earth. The heat that many people extract from their gardens and then upgrade in heat pumps is not geothermal, but rather solar energy,” says...

...getting our deposits back on a mountain of bottles and cans. But this is only a very small step on the road to a circular economy. We will not achieve this aim before all scrapped products can be converted into materials that can be reused time and time again. But, for this to take place, recycled materials...
