This is the first book dedicated to compiling state-of-the-art visualization in porous materials.

The book serves as a reference for teachers, scientists, and engineers working with porous materials. Many of the contributors are affiliated with PoreLab and the Njord Centre.

At Njord, we would like to congratulate Eirik Flekkøy and Alex Hansen who released the book "Physics of Flow in Porous Media". The third author, Jens Feder, passed away in 2019, and was the first director of the centre of excellence Physics of Geological Processes. This book builds on strong competences researchers in Oslo and Trondheim have built on the physics of porous media and that have led to the creation of the centre of excellence PoreLab.

A new Njord project CO2Basalt: Flow and mineral sequestration of carbon dioxide in basalts offshore Norway is set to receive two PhD positions and one Postdoc position starting in 2022. For industries that cannot avoid the production of carbon dioxide as a by-product, capture and geological storage of carbon dioxide is necessary for reaching net zero emissions. The project CO2Basalt will research the geological and physical conditions for mineral trapping and permanent storage of carbon dioxide within basalts of the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

A team from the Physics Laboratory of the ENS of Lyon in collaboration with the Porelab Center of Excellence of the University of Oslo in the framework of Louison Thorens's co-supervised PhD and the CNRS International Research Project (D-FFRACT), were recently able to demonstrate a "magnetic Janssen effect" with the emergence of a radial force along the walls due to the confinement, whose amplitude and direction are determined by the applied magnetic field. The studies have now been published in prestigious Nature Communications.
