It may sound futuristic, but most of us are already using this technology without really being aware of it. In fact, it’s all about small mechanical systems containing components well under half a millimetre in size. Norwegian researchers are...
For the first time this week, the Nature Research Group, publishers of Nature, will host an international conference in Trondheim in cooperation with NTNU, SINTEF and the Geological Survey of Norway. The theme for the conference, which runs from...
New computer models are solving atomic-scale problems that occur when we fuse two different materials together. This may lead to lighter cars in the future.
Buildings, bridges, energy facilities and offshore installations can now have their operating lifetimes doubled while also withstanding severe variations in temperature, weather and climatic conditions.
A new EU project will provide greener cities through cheaper and simpler solar cell systems.
