Norwegian researchers aim to use soil bacteria to cut greenhouse gas emissions from food production. Their research is now published in Nature.

Researchers from NMBU have published an article in Nature Communications about lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO). In the study, they show that LPMOs transfer holes (radicals) generated during…

With a combination of leading academic environments, small and personable class sizes and a central location close to Oslo, NMBU students are rated Norway's most satisfied.

When statistician Kathrine Frey Frøslie explained the R-number using crochet, the video went viral in Norway. Her knitted and crocheted corona art is now available in English, and on display in an int…

Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases (LPMOs) are unique mono-copper enzymes evolved to act on the surfaces of insoluble crystalline polysaccharides, such as cellulose.
