Computers learn by observing behavior of individuals

Computers learn to understand humans better by modelling them Researchers from Aalto University, University of Birmingham and University of Oslo present results paving the way for computers to learn psychologically plausible models of individuals simply by observing them. In newly published conference article, the researchers showed that just by observing how long a user takes

Smart nano-tricks double eco-friendly solar cell efficiency – 35 to 40 per cent

In the future, solar cells can become twice as efficient by employing a few smart little nano-tricks. Researchers are currently developing the environment-friendly solar cells of the future, which will capture twice as much energy as the cells of today. The trick is to combine two different types of solar cells in order to utilize

Nasal spray device for mental illness

Researchers at UiO have tested a new device for delivering hormone treatments for mental illness through the nose. This method was found to deliver medicine to the brain with few side effects. About one out of every hundred Norwegians develop schizophrenia or autism in the course of their lifetime. Moreover, at any one time some

The nanomedicines of the future will build on quantum chemistry

Quantum chemical calculations have been used to solve big mysteries in space. Soon the same calculations may be used to produce tomorrow’s cancer drugs. Some years ago research scientists at the University of Oslo were able to show that the chemical bonding in the magnetic fields of small, compact stars, so-called whitedwarf stars, is different

Using 3D printers to print out self-learning robots

When the robots of the future are set to extract minerals from other planets, they need to be both self-learning and self-repairing. Researchers at Oslo University have already succeeded in producing self-instructing robots on 3D printers. On the third floor of the Department of Informatics there is a robotics laboratory which looks like a playroom

Salt Spray May Prove Most Feasible Geoengineering

The geoengineering technique might have some unintended benefits, like more rainfall, but also consequences if ever interrupted Researchers have wondered for years whether we will one day be able to re-engineer the planet and slow down, perhaps even pause, global warming. A recent study out of Norway is now the first to describe how that might

International success for novel Norwegian radar technology

Mine clearing, monitoring of vital signs and robot vision are among the many potential applications for Novelda’s innovative radar technology. The company’s tiny, unique processor chips are at the core of it all. Novelda’s hard-earned success began with a project on fundamental radar technology using principles developed at the University of Oslo. With the knowledge

Next generation solar cells: Trapping sunlight with microbeads

In five to seven years, solar cells will have become much cheaper and only one-twentieth as thick as current solar cells. The trick is to deceive the sunlight with microbeads. Nanoscientists are currently developing the next generation of solar cells, which will be twenty times thinner than current solar cells. Over 90 per cent of

Cholera discovery could revolutionize antibiotic delivery

Three Simon Fraser University scientists are among six researchers who’ve made a discovery that could help revolutionize antibiotic treatment of deadly bacteria. Lisa Craig, Christopher Ford and Subramaniapillai Kolappan, SFU researchers in molecular biology and biochemistry, have explained how Vibrio cholerae became a deadly pathogen thousands of years ago. V. cholerae causes the diarrheal disease cholera, which is endemic

Nanocaviities for better thermoelectric materials

Replacing the expensive material should allow the process to eventually create thermoelectrics as cheap as paint. Thermoelectric materials are also currently used in the type of cooler bags that keep things cold without making use of their own cooling elements. These cooler bags are full of the elements Lead and Tellurium. Both of these
