...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 turbines, and the electric motors that propel electric and hybrid cars. But they are also used in everyday products like computers and mobile phones...

...new EU funded project aims to develop better and more cost-effective components for fuel cell systems, which will make the systems more efficient and reliable for heavy-duty vehicles and other mobility sectors. As the world moves towards a more sustainable and greener future, hydrogen stands out as a key...
The term ’flow diagnostics’ as used herein, refers to a set of simple and controlled numerical flow experiments that are run to probe a reservoir model, establish connections and basic volume estimates, and quickly provide a qualitative picture of the flow patterns in the reservoir. The methods can also...
Ocean Acidification is a global problem with profoundly negative environmental, social and economic consequences for ocean industries, and there is a need to ensure a coordinated governance effort to directly address it. The oceans are absorbing a relevant part (about 45%) of anthropogenic emissions...
...wind turbines and eco-cars. But the scarcity of these metals is worrying the EU. 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 turbines, and the electric...

...research-based innovation for competitive high value manufacturing in Norway. The centre is hosted by SINTEF Manufacturing AS, it has 14 industry partners, and SINTEF and NTNU as research partner. An analysis of the independent advisory firm Impello Management AS shows that the centre potentially can have an economic...
...image-processing system could prove to be an important tool for Norwegian agriculture and for the thousands of farmers who spray their fields with weed-killer every year. The program can distinguish between weeds and useful plants in real time during spraying, making it possible to spray only the plants...
We use modelling and simulations throughout the process of sensor development to gain insight into the relevant fundamental physical phenomena that influence the design process. Modelling Modelling offers many practical advantages, especially when starting at the early stages of development: It helps...
... This new means of delivering drugs has already been successfully tested on mice and rats and, according to researchers at SINTEF, could open the way for entirely new treatments of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. SINTEF researchers have developed a new nanocapsule that exploits the...
...contains routines and data structures for creating and manipulating grids, petrophysical data, and global drive mechanisms such as gravity, boundary conditions, source terms, and wells. The core also contains an implementation of automatic differentiation (you write the formulas and specify the independent...
As a part of the project “Design and Verification of Large Floating Coastal Structures” (LFCS), a new model test was recently conducted in the Ocean Basin Laboratory. Floating bridges for the future LFCS is a Knowledge-Building Project for Industry (KPN project) with financing from the Research Council of...
...the Norwegian Minister of Research and Education, promised greater funding for his sector, emphasising that the Ocean Space Centre needs to be built to enable us to tackle theimportant challenges facing society. On Wednesday May 6, the Minister visited MARINTEK and NTNU Ocean Week, where he took part...

Nielsen Notes Solar panels, vital to the renewable energy revolution, contain valuable materials such as silicon, aluminium, copper, silver, glass, and polymers. Yet, at the end of their lifespan—typically 25-30 years—most panels are discarded in landfills, wasting these critical resources. Researchers...
