Laser cleaning is a rapidly advancing method gaining attention and finding new applications. Compared to other surface cleaning methods, an advantage is that no sand or chemicals are used in the process, only energy. Noise, dust and waste are therefore significantly reduced, making it a more HSE...
Trøndelag har svaret på fremtidens utfordringer. Økt behov for ren energi og større forbruk vil være blant de største utfordringene fremover....
The rapid adoption of sprinkler systems as fire safety measures in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings across Norway is driven by regulatory changes, such as TEK17 introduced in 2017, and heightened awareness of fire hazards. However, the integrity of these systems is increasingly...
Abstract Livestock supply chains contribute a substantial share of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with enteric methane (CH₄) from ruminants being a key driver. Seaweed-derived feed additives have been proposed as a CH₄ mitigation strategy, but their broader environmental trade...
Genome editing technologies hold great potential for correcting cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations. However, functional delivery of such tools to cells in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, with overproduction of thick and sticky mucus, remains a formidable...
Plastic pollution is an environmental emergency and finding sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics has become a pressing need. Seaweed-based bioplastic has emerged as a promising solution, as it is biodegradable and made from renewable biomass, while seaweed cultivation itself provides...
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has emerged as a paradigm-shifting strategy in the framework of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology by enabling almost 100% internal quantum efficiency due to the utilization of both singlet and triplet excitons. This review will critically...
Vibrasjoner i bakken finnes overalt. For de fleste av oss er dette usynlige krefter. Men de er en ubrukt kilde til ren energi....
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is critical for achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, necessitating efficient and reliable CO2 transport solutions. The present study investigates the suitability of typical various elastomers for sealing applications in CCS infrastructure, focusing on fluoro...
The effective monitoring of dynamic marine phenomena, such as phytoplankton blooms, across multiple spatial and temporal scales remains challenging. However, emerging closed-loop observation systems which integrate adaptive, multi-platform sensors with operational ocean models offer substantial...
Tyre wear particles (TWPs) are an emerging pollutant of concern due to their potential risks to ecosystems and human health, yet they remain absent from European pollution monitoring and risk assessment (RA) frameworks. This study introduces a novel scenario-based RA framework tailored to complex...
Micro- and nanoplastics are increasingly recognized as ubiquitous environmental contaminants with potential implications for ecological and human health. However, many knowledge gaps remain that inhibit comprehensive analyses of the existing data, and, typically, test materials used differ greatly...
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread environmental contaminants with growing evidence of biological toxicity. While size, shape, and polymer type have traditionally dominated hazard discussions, plastic additive chemicals are increasingly recognized as key drivers of MNP toxicity...
