...they will be better protected against earthquakes. SHOW MORE Egyptian Pharaohs, Romans and Greeks went to great lengths to be remembered in the future by building monuments which are today of enormous cultural and historical value. Research scientists want to protect these irreplaceable works of art...

...northern European offshore power grid is the massive investment being made in wind power in the Baltic and in and around the North Sea. The aim here is to reduce CO₂ emissions by as much as between 80 and 95 per cent by 2050.  "If this project is to succeed, we must secure stable electricity supplies", says...

...simple computation of adjoints and sensitivities, etc. Since the simulators are based on automatic differentiation, they are simple to extend with new constitutive relationships, extra conservation equations, new functional dependencies, etc Tutorials Comparing adjoint and numerical derivatives In this...

The author of this article describes how he and his research team have been using a data model to find out how a college in Norway can charge its cars and use a storage battery in the most cost-effective way throughout the year.

...always generated enormous interest, and considerable effort has been expended on techniques that can transform these materials into good energy conductors in technical components. Increased efficiency Magne Runde and Niklas Magnusson at SINTEF study superconductivity, and are testing superconductors in the...

Low cost prototyping and limited volume production are possible with Multi Project Wafer (MPW) services in which devices of different customers are fabricated in a single wafer run. Since multiple customers share the same mask set, the costs of mask making and fabrication are divided. MPW processing...

...stylus in the main problem area Interaction mechanisms. Background This problem is only applicable for devices that are designed to be used both with and without a stylus (not for devices that only can be controlled using HW keys). For some users it is not practical to use the stylus. This could be because...

...insulated windows, ventilation with heat recovery and an advanced heat pump system for domestic hot water. All these features are controlled by a modern, user-friendly Internet- based operating system. But if you are thinking that all the insulation and technical extras will be hard on the wallet, then...

...almost like a bicycle pump" says engineer and Project Manager Edgar Kvernevik at Kvernevik Engineering AS. For the last two years his company has been working with Geir Arne Solheim, the founder of Havkraft AS and the man who came up with the idea, to develop and build the wave power plant now installed...

...formula for successful industrial research is a long period of hard work, laying stone upon stone. Many years of research collaboration by Hydro, SINTEF and NTNU, with the essential financial support of the Research Council of Norway, are a good example of this formula.  These efforts have made an important...

A sensor developed in Norway gives microphones hyper-acute hearing and a sense of direction. by Christina Benjaminsen A sensor developed by scientists at SINTEF’s MiNaLab will help to make microphones hypersensitive: “Think of traditional videoconference equipment. Several people are sitting around...

The microBUILDER training courses raise awareness for the microBUILDER services and enables potential customers to create designs for the microBUILDER manufacturing processes. The training courses are developed for three different target groups: <?xml-namespace prefix="o/????????????????????????????...

See the story behind GasSecure, who developed the technology in close cooperation with SINTEF. Photography, directing and screenplay: Ingvil Snøfugl. Last year German company Dräger bought the SINTEF spin-off GasSecure. The price was 50 million euros. The idea behind GasSecure was to develop the world's...

...income. An innovative new oil-drilling tool concept has seen the light of day. The tool is being developed by scientists at SINTEF Petroleum Research, and it has characteristics that will enable it to take on a number of different tasks. One of these is to bring up oil from small oil-filled pockets that...
