A smart AUV maps phytoplankton to help seabird populations

Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food chain but are notoriously difficult for scientists to account for — a little like trying to identify and count motes of dust in the air. A truly independent underwater vehicle shows it can do the job. Trygve Olav Fossum watched an orange, torpedo-shaped instrument slide off the

Hydrogen-powered transportation gets a lot more real

Heavy-duty trucks will soon be driving around in Trondheim, Norway, fuelled by hydrogen created with solar power, and emitting only pure water vapour as “exhaust”. Not only will hydrogen technology revolutionize road transport, it will also enable ships and trains to run emission-free. Norway’s role as a pioneer in the field of hydrogen technology started

A new way to know how what we buy affects endangered species

Maps show species threat ‘hotspots’ to make connection between consumers, impacts The things we consume, from iPhones to cars to IKEA furniture, have costs that go well beyond their purchase price. What if the soybeans used to make that tofu you ate last night were grown in fields that were hewn out of tropical rainforests?

Clay-based nanostructures could impact oil production, food spoilage, cosmetic and drug manufacturing

By controlling a mix of clay, water and salt, Norwegian and Brazilian researchers have created nanostructures that might help boost oil production, expand the lifespan of certain foods or that could be used in cosmetics or drugs. You’ve seen sauce or mayonnaise that separates, or a slippery layer of oil that forms on top of

Robots – our new underwater “astronauts”

Soon it may be easier to design, plan and carry out infrastructure operations in deep water. The EU project called “SWARMs” aims to achieve this by integrating autonomous vehicles such as ROVs and AUVs. In the years ahead, the number of infrastructure operations carried out in deep water will increase. Oil and gas production is

Norway can be Europe’s green battery

Norwegian hydropower could make Norway the “green battery” of Europe — not by building new power plants, but by further developing those we have HYDROPOWER: NTNU’s enormous Hydraulic Laboratory is filled with models of hydroelectric dams and water tunnels. Norway’s steep and scenic Geiranger fjord, a tourist must-see, is also on display in miniature. Mini

The robot that learns everything from scratch

Imagine that everything in your mind had been erased, and you had to learn everything all over again. What would that process be like? Two researchers at NTNU have made a robot that learns like a young child. At least, that’s the idea. The machine starts with nothing — it has to learn everything from

Hybrid vessels will soon be on the market

Hybrid cars have been a success. The shipping industry is now moving in the same green direction. ABB is convinced that vessels fitted with hybrid main propulsion machinery are the future, and the company expects to sign its first contract in the course of the year. “Hybrid propulsion systems significantly reduce both fuel consumption and

Legal ban on LSD and magic mushrooms against human rights, say scientists

PSYCHEDELIC drugs like LSD and magic mushrooms should be made legal as banning them is “against human rights”, scientists have said Researchers say the drugs are much less harmful than alcohol, and banning them is a human rights issue because of their “spiritual” links. The Norwegian researchers also claim there is no link between LSD

Turning humble seaweed to biofuel

A Norwegian research group has been able to achieve bio-oil yields of 79% from a common kelp. Other researchers working with the same species have yields closer to 20%. The secret is to heat the kelp very quickly and bring it to the right temperature within seconds. The sea has long been a source of
