The Earth’s coldest permafrost is in a mountain in Antarctica

The first map of permafrost distribution in the Northern and Southern hemispheres has been developed by researchers from the University of Oslo. The very first global estimate of permafrost temperatures reveals that the coldest ground on the Earth is found in the Transantarctic Mountains.

120 year old cold case for the Grignard reaction is finally solved

The Grignard reaction is used to synthesize carbon-carbon bonds, a crucial step for making new molecules for academic and industry uses. Finding efficient and selective methods for this reaction has been the target of the research activity for more than 100 years. Incredibly enough, the way the Grignard reaction works has been unknown – until now.

High standards for human milk banks in Norway

Few countries are as well supplied with human milk banks as Norway. But in contrast to other countries, Norwegian milk banks do not pasteurize all the donated milk. This requires strict and updated guidelines.
