We think of oceans as being stable and permanent. However, they move at about the same speed as your fingernails grow.
A new study might explain the climatic changes which influenced the end of the last ice age.
If a material full of pores is soaked in a fluid and another fluid is forced into it, how will the invading fluid displace the other one? It took 30 years to verify the answer, which will be useful for CO2 storage.

In Tanzania new areas of application are created for system developed at the University of Oslo.
Smart phones and other electrical and electronic products contain small amounts of lead, a toxic heavy metal that is a particular risk for children and pregnant women. Researchers have now shown that lead in such products can be replaced with thin films made from harmless materials.
In a new study, based on satellite data, researchers find that global mean sea level has been accelerating much faster than previously assumed.
New technology based on artificial intelligence can recognize pictures of the eight most common gastric findings with at least 93 percent accuracy. This can save lives.
Urinary bladder cancer is one of the most expensive cancer forms for the public health service. Norwegian researchers are developing a test that will benefit both the system and the patients.
While he was a student and a researcher, Iacob Mathiesen developed a method for delivering genes into muscles, which is useful for instance in the development of future DNA vaccines.
A new galaxy “far, far” away has been discovered and will reveal a lot about the early universe. It was hiding in plain sight in the night sky.
What has Einstein and Newton got to do with the motion of the solar system bodies?
