...access to invaluable data, and are now able to see into the very “brain” of a car and measure such things as how much energy is consumed in propulsion and climate control, and how much is generated during braking,” Astrid Bjørgen Sund and Tomas Levin at SINTEF Technology and Society explain. Smart data...

He arrives at SINTEF from a position as Client Leader & Executive at IBM, where he initially was globally responsible for leading the development of IBM´s upstream oil and gas solutions portfolio,, and subsequently responsible...
A healthy marine ecosystem, like one that includes algae types Sargassum and Gongolaria, is a beautiful sight. But large parts of the ocean are under pressure. Photo: Susanne Schäfer/Climarest Standard Immediate action is important for successful marine restoration, scientists conclude. “The human...

Illustration: www.doghouse.no The touch screen has evolved over time. Although many smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) had touch screens long before Apple entered the market, the iPhone, introduced in 2007, was one of the first user-friendly smart phones with a touch screen. Two types...
...scientists from SINTEF and Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) in India have attempted to develop cheaper methods to reduce the amount of sulphur in petrol. They have now produced results they are considering patenting. Restrictions Sulphur in fuel is harmful to the environment, and restrictions in this...

...lie under women who were giving birth to soak up waste products and fluids. “Restless women in labour and unstable mats caused problems for everyone. None of these underlays fitted the delivery beds, and we were wading in foetal fluids and blood. I was just as irritated by people who said that we shouldn’t...
...rational from both socio-economic and ecological perspectives? JANUS is a collaborative project between NTNU (The Department of Sociology and Political Science and the Department of Biology) and SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture (SINTEF F & H). It started in the fall of 2012 and will run until the middle of...
All prospective authors of a chapter in the new MRST book must express their interest to the editors as soon as possible, and in any case, no later than September 15 2019. The expression of interest does not need to follow any specific format, but must contain the information described below. For illustration...
Multiscale simulation is a promising approach to facilitate direct simulation of large and complex grid-models for highly heterogeneous petroleum reservoirs. Unlike traditional simulation approaches based on upscaling/downscaling, multiscale methods seek to solve the full flow problem by incorporating...
... 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...
...research results can be found in our publications and presentations that are available online. The Multiscale Mixed Finite-Element Method (MsMFEM) Basic idea: Use a mixed finite-element method on a coarse scale with special basis that satisfy local flow problems and thereby account for subgrid variations. This...

This shall be achieved by means of the coordination of, and assistance with, the implementation of sustainable e-health applications. The African and European partners that are involved...
Entrepreneur Jon Tore Lieng is the man behind the new ”Deep Penetrating Anchor”. His story shows how an idea conceived at SINTEF, combined with drive and persistence, can bring good, cost-effective technology to the market. In the 90s, when petroleum production began moving towards deeper waters, Lieng...

The offshore facility will be used, among other purposes, to test how large-scale kelp cultivation can become a cost-effective and sustainable ocean-based carbon removal solution. The search for effective and sustainable solutions...
CO2Flow is designed to develop new models for the simulation and prediction of CO2 flow behaviour in pipelines. Norway plans to inject CO2 gas into storage reservoirs using a network of wells. The gas will be obtained from a variety of sources and will contain a variety of different contaminants. The research...
