From cozy woodstove to sustainable and healthy woodstove technology
Hopefully my PhD project will contribute to a sustainable woodstove future, where the impact on climate is mitigated and the air quality will be improved, which will improve people’s health and quality of life. I am researching woodburning stoves, and the impact they have on…
Spør en forsker: Kan man lage vannkraftverk av et svømmebasseng?
Vi har mottatt dette spørsmålet via bloggen. Send gjerne ditt spørsmål til en forsker, du også! Spørsmål: Jeg har et spørsmål jeg har tenkt på en stund. Hvis man har en beholder med vann, gjerne et basseng, også har man et rør under bassenget/beholderen. Dette…
Home of the Northernmost magic
My first expedition to Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, was about observing, absorbing, and participating in big data collection in action. The trip was months delayed due to the pandemic. And it was absolutely magic. So… Svalbard. First, I was going in December. Then January. Then a bit…
Battery testing: developing a new computational tool to reduce experiments
Battery behavior is best studied through experiments. However, time-consuming cycling tests are required to ensure that a specific battery design will perform well over its entire life. I aim to develop a new computational tool for long-term battery testing. My PhD project aims to develop…
Slik kan en bedre bakeform gi mer effektiv solcelleproduksjon
Formene solcellematerialet lages i, påvirker både produksjonsprosessen og kvaliteten på ferdige solceller. Hvordan kan man lage dem best mulig? – Det forsker jeg på.
Green energy: Hydraulic Machinery and Systems
A post symposium summary of the 31st Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems (IAHR 2022) in Trondheim. The Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems, widely known as IAHR symposium within hydraulic machinery community, is organized every second year. It is organized under the framework of…
Cellulose – naturlig plast
Cellulose, som finnes i alle trær og planter, kan på et tidspunkt erstatte den tradisjonelle, oljebaserte plasten. – Men da må vi først finne effektive og miljøvennlige måter å løse opp cellulosen på. Nå har nye metoder ført oss ett skritt nærmere løsningen.
European plaice: a new food source in Norway?
Many of you might think why European plaice (Rødspette) should be regarded as a new food source since this fish is quite common in Norway and not mysterious as other unexplored species. In fact, plaice inhabits most areas along the Norwegian coastline, reaching from the Skagerrak in the South up to the Barents Sea in the North,…
Hva er et plusshus?
Man skulle tro vi har en felles definisjon av plusshus, men det er ikke tilfelle. Kort fortalt er et plusshus et bygg som produserer mer energi enn det forbruker, men hva dette faktisk innebærer varierer mellom ulike definisjoner. I dette blogginnlegget skal jeg nøste opp…
You can actually see the atoms in 3D: Q&A with Paraskevas Kontis
Paraskevas (Paris) Kontis joined NTNU in September 2021 as Associate Professor in Materials Science and Engineering. His work focuses on the relationship between materials’ properties and chemistry at the atomic level. Here, he speaks with NTNU Nano science writer Kelly Oakes about his current research and plans for the future.
