Several years of Norwegian research on fracture mechanics have resulted in new numerical modelling tools. The new software means that we can calculate the risk of fracture in pipelines much more accurately than current methods permit, according to...
The first steps have been taken towards rainwear which repairs itself
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 collapse of the Twin Towers in Manhattan.
A project funded by the European Union and led by SINTEF in Norway with ten other European partners aims to demonstrate a cost-effective CO2 capture technology that could herald a new generation of power-generation plants with integrated CO2 capture.
What kind of HSE know-how do we really need to manage the new substances now found in everything from our clothes to cosmetics and electronics? Are nanoparticles harmful to the environment – or are these invisible particles safer than we think?
Chief scientist Erik Lindeberg of SINTEF Petroleum Research has been awarded the international research prize “The SINTEF and NTNU CCS Award” for his pioneering role in research on storing CO2 in geological strata.
Curtains of air-bubbles are turning out to be a new method of fighting oil-spills. The bubbles gather up the oil efficiently, even in winds and strong currents, and keep it together in a “pool”.
The first forklift trucks in Europe that will run on fuel cells and with hydrogen in their tanks are on the way to the market. No fewer than 30 demonstration units are to be tested, and Norway is among the countries potentially involved in the trials
