Could air bubbles prevent hurricanes?

Many people have tried to find ways of preventing hurricanes before they make landfall, resulting in the loss of human lives. Norwegian researchers believe that the answer lies in cold bubbles. In recent years we have witnessed intense tropical storms that have taken many thousands of human lives and caused massive destruction. For example in

Using algae to fight osteoarthritis

A new weapon in the fight against osteoarthritis? Researchers at ETH Zurich, Empa and the Norwegian research institute SINTEF are pursuing a new approach to treating osteoarthritis. This is based on a polysaccharide, a long-chain sugar molecule, originating from brown algae. When chemically modified, this “alginate” reduces oxidative stress, has an anti-inflammatory effect in cell

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

Storing compressed air in sealed tunnels and mines could be a way of storing energy in the future

Air could be the world’s next battery Wind and sun, two unpredictable resources, are becoming ever more important as sources of energy in Europe. This means that we face a growing need for energy storage facilities, because if energy cannot be used immediately when it is generated, it needs to be stored until it is needed.

LED lighting stimulates microalgae to produce everything from food to fuel

Microalgae consist of single cells but are capable of producing everything from food to fuel with the help of tailor-made LED-lighting. “We’re working to synthesise raw materials for biofuels, cosmetics and health food, and ingredients which can replace fish oil in fish farm feed, by means of so-called phototrophic production using algae,” says Andreas Hagemann,

Green light for plant-based food packaging

Bioplastic packaging that extends the shelf life of food and tells us when it is no longer fit to eat will result in less waste. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN estimates that a third of all food produced on the planet is wasted. This isn’t simply just an economic or ethical problem,

Commercialising gas bubbles for very targeted cancer drug delivery

Researchers are now working to design stable micro-bubbles which, combined with ultrasound, can deliver cancer drugs straight to the target tumour. The project recently started up in Trondheim is called ‘BubbleCAN’ and is based on SINTEF proprietary technology. Researchers are making stable micro-bubbles containing chemotherapeutic drugs. The bubbles can be used in combination with ultrasound

A friendly robot that can move and interact safely with humans

Researchers have developed a robot that adjusts its movements in order to avoid colliding with the people and objects around it. This provides new opportunities for more friendly interaction between people and machines. Modern industrial robots commonly weigh in at several tonnes and for this reason are placed inside netting enclosures to prevent them colliding

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

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
