The main goal of this project is to reach international excellence in nanomedicine characterization for medical indications like cancer, diabetes, inflammatory diseases or infections in Europe, and make it accessible to all organizations developing...
High temperature heat pumps for efficient utilisation of low temperature surplus heat
The main goal with the project is to study the technological challenges one faces in the development of new products that combines different plastic materials with other material groups (i.e. multi material products), with special focus on products...
SINTEF has been a participant in the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry (SFI Centre), along with central partners in the petroleum sector.Ongoing for seven years the research program ended on 31.12.2014.
The main objective is to optimize the chemical quality of silicon for siloxane and silicones production in order to boost the process efficiency and productivity. CorSiCa project will develop a numerical tool called Sistruc that predict the...
Risk reduction through climate adaptation of buildings and infrastructure
Overweight and obesity is a growing problem in Norway and in the rest of the world, and the expenses for the community related to obesity are big. Specialists feel that obesity patients often have little insight into their illness and health, and...
The ALTT project focuses on Acceleration of Learning at the workplace
SINTEF will work, alongside four other research institutes, to improve the working environment in the Norwegian ferroalloy, silicon and silicon carbide plants. The project DeMaskUs will study how airborne dust is formed, how it affects human cells...
Ordinary ultrasound imaging techniques cannot resolve the blood flow in small vessels properly. By injecting microbubbles into the blood stream, even tiny capillaries will become visible in the ultrasound images. Visualization of abnormal blood flow...
This project will develop knowledge, technology and operational methods to advance current net cleaning technologies in order to improve cleaning efficacy and fish health while at the same time reducing the wear of net coatings and the discharge of...
RACE Current on location scale is a strategic project at SINTEF in which we will increase our understanding of water currents in and between the cages of a fish farm. The current structure is affected by the oceanographic conditions around the farm...
Snow conditions have an important impact on nature and human society. In Norway, one third of the annual precipitation falls as snow and snow information is important economically (hydropower), for infrastructure (construction safety and transport...
This PostDoc project is supported by the Research Council of Norway and will examine the risks of current biofouling management practices in Norwegian salmon aquaculture on fish health and biosecurity.
Helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland has been carrying out model tests in our ship-model tank in order to study emergency landings on water and helicopters’ subsequent seaworthiness. Very few test facilities anywhere in the world perform tests of...
SINTEF has been working for the past several years in research on the manoeuvring characteristics of submarines.
The project aims at understanding the mechanism of sodium diffusion into cathode materials in primary aluminium production by a multidisciplinary approach.
What do people think about the institutions adopted to build peace after civil war? The short answer is simply: we do not know. The ‘Attitudes for peace’ research project addresses this shortcoming by conducting public opinion surveys in three...
