Since then, material scientists from SINTEF – the largest independent research organisation in Scandinavia – and industrial designers from Permafrost Design Studio in Oslo have helped him make his idea a reality. The first step into the world market will be the...
You can't just stick your head out the window and breathe fresh air if the International Space Station’s life support system is contaminated. A Norwegian-German collaboration has developed a new, rapid monitoring system for checking indoor air quality in the space station, 400 km above the Earth. Photo:...
...tackle the financing of the acute and increasing costs of mitigating and adapting to climate change. The conference resulted in an agreement on a new collectively quantified target (NCQG) for such financing. The target was set at $300 billion annually between 2026 and 2035. That is a far cry from the...
...energy prices in Norway and Europe as a whole, have breathed new life into an old argument. Many commentators are talking about how much better things will be if we simply use gas-fired electricity rather than rejuvenating the old coal-fired power stations as is favoured by the EU. And all this in the wake...
...industrial partners and researchers should know what to expect from one another, according to Dr. Marit Aursand. Expect a change – the iProcess course is set. – The iProcess Kickoff in Trondheim was a very constructive two days, says project manager Dr. Marit Aursand of Sintef Fisheries and Aquaculture. –...
Illustration: Geir Mogen/SINTEF. Researchers from seven countries have concluded that we can feel safe both in electric-powered cars and in those powered by hydrogen, petrol and diesel. None of them exposes passengers to higher electromagnetic fields than those recommended in international standards. In fact...
Minister of Petroleum and Energy, presented SINTEF researcher Tor Haakon Bakken with the energy award given by the think-tank Grønn Fase ('Green Phase') at an event in August. The award was conceived by Green Phase, a think-tank made up of researchers working in the energy, climate and environmental sectors...
...eye, it may seem odd to see models between five- and seven-meters long can accurately predict how a 333-meter-long ship will behave in open waters. The ship, which will transport iron ore from Brazil to China, may require over five kilometers to stop and 1.6 kilometers to turn. These are dimensions so...

The best of both worlds The recipe is a combination of casting and forging. The method is based on an idea from SINTEF Materials and Chemistry, and it is currently being tested out by SINTEF and the Norwegian companies Raufoss Technology and Farsund Aluminium Casting in a four-year collaborative project...
...researchers Marco Povoli and Angela Kok have contributed towards the development of a microscopic sensor that measures what no other sensor can – the radiation doses absorbed by individual cancer cells.

Dr. Odd Myklebust of SINTEF and NTNU, expert in innovation management, was hired to kick the Kickoff off with an outside perspective, from another industry. Norwegian food production can be among the most profitable in the world – with world class quality. And he is sure iProcess will be an important...

Here you find instance definitions and the best known upper and lower bounds (to our knowledge) for the 34 instances of the mgval (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...
