When little things have a big impact
Sometimes, it’s the tiniest things that ruin the day, be it a mosquito in your bedroom, a splinter in your toe, or a tiny hole in the tube of your bike’s wheel. This can also be the case with oxygen in a CO2 capture process – there’s not much of it, but it can be pretty problematic.
Body growth affected by climate change
The number of wild boar in Europe is rapidly increasing, leading to much controversy. Understanding what factors may contribute to this population growth, as well as predict how populations will change under climate change, is essential as wild boar incur very real economic and public health costs.
NV Faculty Day award winners
The Faculty of Natural Sciences (NV) organized the NV Faculty Day 2021 yesterday, a streaming event with, among other things, the winners of the faculty awards 2021.
A crude awakening: why should we care about contaminated copepods?
Who hasn’t seen the oil covered seabirds and big-eyed otters in the news after massive oil spills like Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon? The images represent how oil production can impact the marine environment and are visually powerful.
Role of silicon carbide (SiC) in silicon/ferro silicon (Si/FeSi) process
The demand for high quality silicon is rapidly increasing in the solar cell industry and for production of photovoltaic applications. To meet this demand, the industrial production of silicon must be made more effective.
Absorbing CO2 into solutions without water
Water is cheap, non-toxic and easily available. But is it the best choice for environmentally friendly CO2 capture with amine solvents?
Seeking creative young researchers working towards a clean energy future
The meeting platform NTNU Young Researcher Clean Energy Symposium wants to help motivate young researchers to secure a sustainable and clean energy future. Maybe you should join us? Here is a summary of third symposium in March 11, 2020. The 3rd NTNU Young Researcher Clean…
From waste to value
40.000 tons of aluminium are going to waste each year, in the form of different types of food packaging. We work to improve the circularity of the aluminium food packaging in Norway.
Using technology to map ice algae
Life is thriving in the Arctic beneath ice. At the base of the food web is Ice algae. They are an important food source for life in the arctic sea, and flourish in this extreme environment. Modern technology gives us exciting possibilities to learn more about them and how they have adapted to their environment.
Birds and bugs: Trapping and tracking the vital insect food for young birds
Spring has turned into summer quickly and the insects which are vital food for bird chicks are here. While recent studies have drawn attention to dramatic declines of entire insect populations, little is known about consequences for other species depending on insects for food, including many birds, which may face the same plight.
