Smouldering corrosion risk in sprinkler systems demands new knowledge
Insidious bacteria could cause trouble for the sprinkler wave that is now rolling in across Norway if the tiny organisms are not taken seriously.

If electric vehicles were lighter, they would also be more energy efficient. Of course researchers are eager to make that happen. With aluminium.
Far below the earth’s surface is an energy source with huge and perpetual potential: geothermal heat. But the forces in its scorching and inhospitable depths must be tamed. Now scientists know what that will take.
It’s easy to oppose solar parks when you hear that 60 solar plants are equivalent in area to over 5000 football pitches, as recently reported by NRK. This analogy draws attention away from other important aspects of the debate.
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.
The goal is to eliminate both charging anxiety and environmental concerns. Now researchers have created the “recipe” to do it.
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.
