A box the size of a refrigerator that supplies a home – and perhaps ten neighbouring houses – with electricity. That’s Ole Martin Løvvik’s dream at SINTEF.

Firefighters do hard physical work while being exposed to great heat strain. Now we know more about what happens to their body temperature during a smoke dive.

SINTEF experts on microchip technology are working on a method to detect biomarkers in our breath and to miniaturize a monitoring device. The project can help to discover symptoms of COPD earlier and change the lives of millions of people suffering...

Steel is a cornerstone of modern society, but its production accounts for approximately 7% of global CO₂ emissions.

The Green Platform project WindRise aims to realize sustainable and cost-effective solutions for the large-scale deployment of offshore wind substructures.

Nanomedicines save lives, but they don’t reach the market or the patient’s body fast enough. Researchers have now come up with a recipe to accelerate and improve the process.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for buildings is an effective tool for achieving climate targets. The requirements must now be followed up with policy in Norway as well.

The use of fossil fuels and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions from waterborne transport must be minimised as quickly as possible to achieve a climate-neutral society by 2050.

A new EU funded project aims to develop better and more cost-effective components for fuel cell systems, which will make the systems more efficient and reliable for heavy-duty vehicles and other mobility sectors.

Digital technologies are creating many opportunities for the industry, but how can you ensure that you take advantage of these opportunities in practice? Researchers examine how and why in the new book “Digitalization and Sustainable Manufacturing...

Will we be able to trust text and images in the future? Deepfake is being used not just for innocent fun, but also to influence voters in the world’s most powerful countries.

It’s been a mystery for many years: Every day, tonnes of ferromanganese – an important additive in steel – are “locked” in slag on their way out of the furnaces. We are now getting close to solving this problem.

Through the EU project INSECTEC.OCEAN, SINTEF Ocean will assist the Portuguese INESC TEC in establishing a 'Centre of Excellence' for marine research and engineering in Porto, Portugal.

The UN climate reports provide the world’s most comprehensive scientific assessment of climate change, its impacts, and potential solutions. Being selected to contribute is a recognition of a researcher’s international leadership in their field...
