In the restructuring process, good bosses clear up chaotic situations and create relaxed working conditions for their employees. Even when time is scarce, they don’t get stressed. Fredrik Sunde at St. Olav Hospital has participated in the research. Research at SINTEF has found that managers who are...

The first phase will run for 4 years, then the project might be extended with another 3 years: The engineering phase addresses the development of engineering solutions and their assessment through the development and demonstration of pilot...
..."We know that oil spills happen – and that they will happen again", says Roman Netzer, a researcher and biologist at SINTEF. "We also know that this can have a major negative impact on the natural environment. This is why we've been studying a series of chemical and biological analytical techniques to...
Trygve Brautaset and his colleagues at SINTEF work in the discipline known as synthetic biology. Both groups are working on the industrial use of microorganisms – to which they have given new properties. Venter’s goal is to end up with a synthetic bacterium that can efficiently use sunlight and CO2 from the...
...klima- og miljøavtrykk. En bedre beslutningsmodell vil også sikre riktig prioritering av vedlikehold på veinettet, sier avdelingsdirektør Trond Michael Andersen i Statens vegvesen. Forskerne forventer at en forvaltning som er bedre for klimaet, også gir bedre økonomi. - Per i dag vet vi ikke nøyaktig hvilke...
...personnel can use without difficulty. “Such devices must be compact and portable, and thus practical for those working outside the hospital environment – in ambulances, care homes or local doctors’ surgeries”, says Project Manager and Research Scientist Robert Schittny at SINTEF. Currently, the interpretation...
...hand-held PC with GPS can guide both pupil and instructor around the streets. Ivar Blikø is testing the GPS tool with his daughter who is about to take her driving test. In practice, this is a “digital driving instructor”, says inventor, company founder and SINTEF scientist Ivar Blikø. He is the man...
Chinese-European Emission-Reducing Solutions (CHEERS) project is to demonstrate how pet coke, lignite coal and wood-derived biomass can be safely burned to produce power or steam, while capturing CO2 and other harmful emissions, at a low cost. This is particularly important for utilising waste products for...
In 2021, salmon lice cost the aquaculture industry 167 billion kroner. Lice are also a major pest to any fish that are infected, and any risk of spread to wild salmon populations represents an environmental threat.

As part of a project commissioned by the ESA, researchers are to continue with this work and are carrying out a preliminary study to examine the technology and other opportunities for utilising robots in space. “More ambitious applications include potential activities on comets and the...
Gyro Gearloose has invented a super-machine that sorts cheap scrap and metal poured into a tube, while out of another pipe emerge gold and shiny new coins. Now, SINTEF scientists are trying to do the same thing. One of SINTEF Materials and Chemistry’s laboratory halls on Gløshaugen in Trondheim is dominated...
