Professor was thrilled when he saw 80 to 100 million-year-old cone fossils. The fossils at the Natural History Museum at University of Oslo show seeds and pollen from the time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Scientists need to understand how microscopic water droplets and ice crystals form in clouds in order to predict what the climate will be like in the future.
200 million women have been cut worldwide. Researchers investigate ways to eradicate the practice, including the role of less harmful types of circumcision.
Their internal wounds represent the greatest health problem for Palestinians. A life of uncertainty is the worst of them.
Politicians seeking re-elections may benefit from weak, ineffective climate agreements.
Exhaust gas emissions have doubled the amount of ground-level ozone. Vegetation is being destroyed. Food production is decreasing. Researchers now fear that the damage is greatest in the Arctic regions.
Although the war in Syria is in its eighth year, statisticians have established that the world is becoming increasingly peaceful.
Fraudsters who cheat on their taxes, launder money or con insurance companies are facing uncertain times. New statistical methods are increasing the likelihood that they will be caught.
In ten years, computers will be able to propose the most suitable cancer treatment for you. The idea is to simulate how all possible combinations of existing cancer treatments will work on your particular tumour.
The chance of major ship disasters at sea can be reduced by statistical methods. The trick is to interpret the large amounts of data streaming in from the many sensors in the ship, making it possible to sound the alarm on time.
In cooperation with NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, scientists at the University of Oslo are now set to reveal the mysteries of physics in the atmosphere by launching eleven rockets.
The professor whose face is emblazoned on the Norwegian 200-kroner banknote was forgotten for nearly 60 years. Today he is considered one of Norway’s greatest researchers ever.
Burial mounds may equally well mark the tomb of a house as that of a human, archaeologist argues.
200ノルウェークローネ紙幣に肖像が採用されたほどの著名であったのに、60年近く忘れられていたこの教授は、今日、ノルウェーの名だたる科学者の一人と評価されています。
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.
– 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.
Норвежский закон защищает причинителя вреда: Норвегия не берет на себя ответственность за разливы нефти, которые дрейфуют с морскими течениями и достигают русского северного побережья. Результатом этого может стать нарушение экосистем.
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 – and then remain quiescent for fifty to a hundred years – 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.
