In the future, solar cells can become twice as efficient by employing a few smart little nano-tricks.

Inequalities are increasing globally. Millions of people work for an income that does not provide them with a living, and welfare states and trade unions are under pressure. A basic wage that increases in line with economic progress can reverse this development, according to two leading economists.

¨C There are better ways for a poor country to use its vital tax revenues to ensure sustainable Development.

We waste enormous amounts of electricity from the wind and sun. Intelligent machines and large batteries will put an end to that Waste.

Daily samples of baby poo taken throughout a full year will reveal how the bacterial community changes in the gut of infants.

Mathematicians are now developing completely new statistical calculations on the world¡¯s fastest computers in order to be able to predict how epidemics of dangerous hospital bacteria spread.

Solar storms can paralyse modern communications. Researchers will now launch a swarm with rockets to find out why. Their goal is to develop better space weather forecasts.

Norwegian law protects those who pollute: Norway does not take responsibility for oil spills that are transported with the ocean currents and hit the northern coast of Russia. Ecosystems may be destroyed as a result.

Many glaciers on Svalbard behave very differently from other glaciers worldwide. They advance massively for some years and then quickly retreat ¨C and then remain quiescent for fifty to a hundred years ¨C before they once again start to advance.

Nowadays, Schubert¡¯s music sounds differently compared to 200 years ago. To find out why, the body language of pianists is now being analysed.

A completely new type of mathematical logic from the University of Oslo has the potential to improve intelligence services worldwide. The US Army has already expressed keen interest.

Bacteria that talk to one another and organize themselves into biofilms are more resistant to antibiotics. Researchers are now working to develop drugs that prevent bacteria from communicating.

We tend to think of the Middle Ages as grotesque and dreary. However, 13th century elites made use of laughter quite deliberately ¨C and it resounded most loudly when it was at someone else¡¯s expense.

Remnants of the genetic makeup of plague bacteria have been found in thousands of victims of the Black Death and the major plague epidemics at the end of the Iron Age. The DNA analyses may predict the next plague outbreak.

Top researchers will now be using mathematical modelling and heavy computations to understand how the brain can both remember and learn.

Cancer researchers are now using one of the world's fastest computers to detect which parts of the genetic code may cause bowel and prostate cancer.

Quantum chemical calculations have been used to solve big mysteries in space. Soon the same calculations may be used to produce tomorrow¡¯s cancer drugs.

One of this century¡¯s most significant mathematical discoveries may reduce the number of measuring points to one-sixth of the present level. This means reduced exposure to radiation and faster medical imaging diagnostics.

Several sacred sites in Southern Lebanon have been lost as a result of the country¡¯s many conflicts. This has created sharper dividing lines between the various religious groups in the region.

A few years ago, the oldest known piece of clothing ever discovered in Norway, a tunic dating from the Iron Age, was found on a glacier in Breheimen. Now about to be reconstructed using Iron Age textile techniques, it is hoped the tunic will inspire Norwegian fashion designers.

When the robots of the future are set to extract minerals from other planets, they need to be both self-learning and self-repairing. Researchers at Oslo University have already succeeded in producing self-instructing robots on 3D printers.

Thanks to the smartphone and your own body movements, the music you hear can be different each time you listen to it.

For a long time, researchers have neglected the 100 million glial cells found in our brains, but that is no longer the case. Now they have discovered that the glial cells cleanse the brain of waste.

Long-term research collaboration has helped reduce maternal mortality in the Gambia to less than half its previous level over 14 years. However, the country is still facing numerous challenges in terms of health.
