Patients can use tablet computers to report their daily condition.  Hospitals can pick up early symptoms, take action and thereby reduce admissions By Åse Dragland Product designer Jarl...

A workshop titled “New technology for the Nordic fishing fleet: Fishing gear and effective catch handling” will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland, on October 1st & 2nd 2013. The goal of the workshop...

The ESA wants its operations on other planets to have greater mobility and manoeuvrability. SINTEF researchers are looking into whether snake robots could be the answer. So far, NASA has landed...

Environmental information about CO₂, airborne dust and pollen will no longer be collected only at isolated measuring stations. From now on, cyclists, bus drivers and the man in the street will be...

We have tended to associate welfare technology with support for the elderly. Now researchers are looking at whether technology such as digital calendars and smartwatches can also provide support...

Fire researchers have shown that sparks from a burning house can be prevented from spreading if the loft is fitted with an extinguishing system based on water-mist, i.e. tiny water droplets that...

Using nanocapsules containing cancer drugs, researchers have succeeded in attacking tumours with surgical precision. One of the ways to manufacture such capsules is with minute droplets of super...

Researchers in Trondheim have achieved surprising results by exploiting nature's own ability to clean up after oil spills. We all know that marine bacteria can assist in cleaning up after oil...

The EU wants people to get more interested in their cultural heritage, and is starting pilot projects in England, Spain and Norway. By Åse Dragland Only a pitifully small percentage of us...

SINTEF scientists have found that it could be more energy-efficient and cheaper than previously thought to capture CO₂ by turning it into a liquid. CO₂ captured in this way can be loaded directly...

Unlike farmed salmon, white fish varies greatly in size and weight. This means that until now, no one has been able to develop a machine that can fillet these fish. However, there is now a...

The demand for metals such as neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy) is increasing much faster than production. These metals are used in technologies such as the generators that store power in wind...

The Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) in Biskop Gunnerus gate in Oslo is buzzing. It’s not a buzz of voices, but comes from a machine in the corner – and a backup close by. It’s the...

Creative Ghanaian master’s students are learning project management from SINTEF’s Jan Alexander Langlo. The course is part of a foreign aid project which aims to get local businesses qualified as...
