...development of the next generation of high performance and sustainable batteries. Batteries play an important role in our daily lives, powering smart phones, computers, and cars. As the world races to reduce CO2 emissions, the development of sustainable and high-performance batteries takes on an even more...
...such as anti-carcinogens, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that can help us combat diseases and conditions such as arthritis, obesity, diabetes and fatigue. Farming of these animals is thus a hot topic. Jan Ove Evjemo is a researcher at SINTEF Ocean, Norway, and shows us a photogenic sea cucumber that...
...taste of really fresh fish can only be experienced from shops for two to three months during the winter. But new handling methods can change all this and provide us with the best quality all year round. The results come from the SINTEF-coordinated research project QualiFish.

...areas at one and the same time. In 1989, a major sun storm disabled the power system in Quebec in Canada, and in 2003 power cuts caused by a sun storm resulted in major economic consequences across the north-western USA. In our society in particular, which is so dependent on technology and infrastructure...
...different system, and in Bergen they have a third. “Moreover, the bus companies are having trouble updating and replacing their modules”, says Jan Håkegård at SINTEF ICT. “They use a multitude of IT systems that are expensive both to hook up and operate. The systems are outdated and lack flexibility because...
...more in tolls to cross a bridge for a 70% reduction in emissions? SINTEF, NTNU and TU Delft have investigated the effect that implementing CCS in 10 different industries would have on the emissions and costs of nine products and services. The results showed that CO2 emissions could be significantly reduced...
...designed to drift across the oceans of the world with the aid of the currents and the wind. It looks like a Viking ship turned on its edge. A visionary platform for doing science, drifting partly above the surface of the sea and partly beneath it. This unique creation known as “Sea Orbiter”, has been designed...

In Denmark, knowledge has been freely available to both small and large companies via a resource centre for greenhouse gas accounting for buildings. We must now follow their lead, believe the authors of the article. Photo: Alexander Farnsworth/iStock ...
Norwegian subarctic fjord and coastal ice to address an intriguing gap in scientific knowledge. Little research so far Due to the influence of warm Atlantic water, larger fjords along the Norwegian coast are ice free all year. However, sea ice can form in the inner parts of fjords and in smaller fjord branches...
...lighter cars in the future. Materials combinations that reduce product weights (and thus energy consumption) are high on the wish lists of car manufacturers. Such products include parts that are made of a combination of steel and the lighter aluminium. In order to bypass the effects of changes in materials...
