How the touch sense is affected by age is relatively unknown today. A multidisciplinary team of researchers from RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and L’Oréal Research and Innovation have therefore developed a specific method allowing measurement and understanding of the reasons for reduced tactile acuity with age. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/rise-and-loreal-r-och-i-reach-a-major-milestone-in-the-understanding-how-tactile-acuity-decreases-with-age-2485309?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/rise-and-loreal-r-och-i-reach-a-major-milestone-in-the-understanding-how-tactile-acuity-decreases-with-age-2485309?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB Wed, 21 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000 In a newly launched research project, RISE, together with Södra, AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals and BillerudKorsnäs, with the support of the Swedish Energy Agency, investigates the opportunities for the Swedish pulp, chemical and paper industry to increase the production of renewable fuels while taking a more active role in the electricity market by producing so-called electrofuels. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/rise-explores-opportunities-for-the-swedish-process-industry-to-benefit-from-electrofuels-2453683?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/rise-explores-opportunities-for-the-swedish-process-industry-to-benefit-from-electrofuels-2453683?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB Wed, 14 Mar 2018 08:00:00 +0000 Most people can relate to baker’s yeast and what it can be used for. However, a recent feasibility study carried out by EcoBuild and RISE has shown there might be more areas of application to the yeast than previously thought. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/swedish-researchers-turning-bakers-yeast-into-glue-2445543?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/swedish-researchers-turning-bakers-yeast-into-glue-2445543?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB Tue, 06 Feb 2018 08:00:00 +0000 RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and power utility Skellefteå Kraft are about to establish a test centre where the global wind industry can test their equipment in cold and icy conditions. The site is Uljabuouda in the municipality of Arjeplog in the northern part of Sweden. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/icy-test-site-shall-attract-the-worlds-wind-industry-to-sweden-2404840?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/icy-test-site-shall-attract-the-worlds-wind-industry-to-sweden-2404840?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB Wed, 10 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000 RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and Efectis Group has signed a mutual Memorandum of Understanding in order to jointly support sustainable fire safety and fire research in society contributing with top-level expertise and innovation to industry, regulators, universities and other stakeholders on a worldwide basis. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/joint-efforts-for-fire-safety-2363638?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/rise/pressreleases/joint-efforts-for-fire-safety-2363638?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB Fri, 22 Dec 2017 08:00:00 +0000 We’ve seen a number of examples of the circular economy on a small scale across many areas of society.
