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.
The Kavli Prize to pioneers in Electron Microscopy!
Congratulations to the four researchers who were awarded the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience on Wednesday 27 May 2020!
Harald Rose, Max Haider, Ondrej Krivanek and Knut Urban received the Kavli Prize for realizing sub-Ångstrøm imaging and chemical analysis in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using aberration correction. Their work makes it possible to “see” atoms.
