...can be combined with standard Si/glass and polymer processes for enhanced functionality. The combined technologies often involve materials not used in the standard processes. Such mixing of the available microBUILDER technologies allows for improved functionality and higher performance of a variety of new...
When a PC user changes his location, his environment also changes and problems often arise. However, with the aid of the appropriate software the computer’s software can be modified automatically to match the changed situation. Most of us who have sat on a train using a PC have experienced low battery...
A wood fibre only 100 nanometres thick will help to give us tomorrow’s plastic food packaging, if SINTEF and its partners are successful. Cellulose can be broken down into what is called microfibrillated cellulose. MFC consists of plant fibres that are only 100 nanometres in diameter, but can be extremely...
...gate in Oslo is buzzing. It’s not a buzz of voices, but comes from a machine in the corner – and a backup close by. It’s the sound of problems being solved. Bus drivers often have inflexible shift arrangements and unpractical plans. SINTEF created a new arrangement for the Nordic bus company Nobina whereby...
...that researchers want to know what climate change and a warming ocean might do to these tiny floating oxygen factories, especially since they serve as the basis of marine food webs and thus support the production of zooplankton and fish. But counting and identifying plankton is incredibly hard. It’s like...

The President of SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, Karl Andreas Almås, crouches over his laptop, opens one of his presentations and finds an illustration. It shows one red curve and one blue. He then indicates the point where they meet each other, then frowns and says the message he cannot repeat often...

Authors: Mark Mulrooney, Postdoc NCCS and Peter Betlem, PhD NCCS NCCS researchers are now studying Svalbard's subsurface and outcrops to gain important integrity data that will help to successfully deliver carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS), a critical climate change mitigation...
Cusk is traditionally used for the production of dry stockfish and salted fish. A new project is looking into whether it can be offered to consumers as fillets. Photo: Solveig Uglem/SINTEF Standard “Cusk makes for a delicious fish dinner”, says SINTEF researcher Guro Møen Tveit. “Our study shows that...
...photo: RossHelen/Shutterstock Viewpoints Again and again we hear the same appeal – calling out loud and clear in a number of feature articles: “If we don’t train more realists to provide us with more technology, the green transition will exhaust itself and the health services crumble in the face of an...
COPD is a disease that develops gradually and often over many years. For this reason, it is mainly the elderly who receive the diagnosis, and this is why the high levels of drug use are worrying researchers. Photo:Thinkstock. The results were published recently in an article in the International Journal...
Two full scale tests were carried out in spring and autum 2013 to assess the effect of sweep length on herding of fish during semi-pelagic trawling for cod and haddock. The results showed that sweep length can have a significant effect on the catches. Fixing the 450-kg chain weights right in front of...

It is becoming increasingly evident that ammonia has the potential to be a very convenient and viable alternative fuel for use across a range of...
...maybe this is more common than we think”, says Marita Skjuve, a research scientist at SINTEF and doctoral research fellow at the University of Oslo (UiO). We don’t know very much about such relationships, and this aroused my curiosity”, she says. “Without Replika, I would never have made it through”,...

Here you find instance definitions and the best known upper and lower bounds (to our knowledge) for the 23 instances of the mggdb (ß=0.50) benchmark derived from the CARP by Bosco et al. [BLMV]. The values for the upper and lower bounds reported in the table only include traversal costs, i.e. service...
