In the early 60s, Norwegian researchers created the core elements of a new pressure-measurement device; this was the germ of what would become very large sales of crash sensors to the automotive...

Intelligent hearing protection and communications equipment – in the same earplug! QuietPro distinguishes sound from noise.   Soldiers were the first users of the Norwegian invention. Former...

Statoil’s Hywind pilot installation off the southwest coast of Norway  is the first full-scale floating turbine in the world. But it was born indoors. The model tests of Hywind were performed...

Exchanging electric power between Norway and Denmark is an old idea, but the link between the two countries only became feasible when developments in technology meant that we could lay a...

Interdisciplinary cooperation between technologists and surgeons has resulted in equipment for more precise removal of brain tumours. Neurosurgeon Geirmund Unsgård steers his instruments through...

According to a theory advanced by a SINTEF materials scientist, a mixture of water from sprinkler systems and molten aluminium from melted aircraft hulls created explosions that led to the...

A coating filled with tiny lubricant capsules could come to the rescue when metal surfaces dry out and friction builds up. A ball bearing – or a slide bearing around an axle – needs lubricating...

Microalgae are a renewable resource that is central to marine food production, and microalgae should also be considered to a much larger extent in terrestrial production such as in feed for mink...

SINTEF's South American spin-off, the Brazilian research foundation Instituto SINTEF do Brasil, has brought into harbour its first three contracts worth NOK 28 million (USD 4.8 million). The...

Two days after the catastrophic fire in Lærdal in Western Norway, which destroyed 40 buildings, an eleven-year-old report from SINTEF NBL, the Norwegian Fire Research Laboratory, once again...

In addition to having good operating characteristics in the open sea, the 120-metre intervention vessel has been designed to operate in and make its way through the ice. Given the harsh...

A researcher is making gentle, gymnastic hand movements in front of his tablet computer.  Why? By Åse Dragland "We are working to develop interaction between myself and this iPad which...

Batteries as big as houses could become an important component of our electricity supply in the future – enabling us to exploit renewable energy that at present literally just flies past us. By...

A newly developed white fish filleting machine could give this Norwegian industry a much-needed boost.  Unlike farmed salmon, white fish varies greatly in size and weight. This means that until...

Thermal imaging cameras at airports could calculate queues and check-in times better than systems that make estimates using Bluetooth and WiFi on passengers' mobiles. Current security control...
