Og Anne Ladegaard Skov har store forventninger til materialet.
And Anne Ladegaard Skov has high expectations of the material, and says:
”Det er super spændende.
"This is super exciting.
Det særlige ved materialet er, at de føromtalte titaniumplader frastøder i stedet for at tiltrække hinanden, som ellers er almindeligt for støddæmpende substanser.
The material is special in that the above-mentioned titanium sheets repel rather than attract each other, which is how shock-absorbing materials normally behave.
Det betyder, at materialet absorberer stød, lige som når en trampolinspringer stopper et spring ved at knække sammen i knæene.
This means that the material absorbs the shock, just like bending your knees to stop jumping on a trampoline.
Det problem har forskningsgruppen løst ved at lægge titaniumpladerne i hydrogelen,” fortæller Anne Ladegaard Skov og fortsætter, ”Det, at de benytter sig af frastødende kræfter, betyder, at når materialet belastes vinkelret på titaniumpladernes flade, vil det lede energien væk horisontalt i stedet for lodret.
However, a research team has found a solution to this problem by placing titanium sheets in hydrogel," says Anne Ladegaard Skov and continues: "Due to their repulsive features, the energy is transferred horizontally rather than vertically when the material on the titanium sheet surface is subjected to perpendicular impact.
Hvis du for eksempelvis taber din mobil, vil stødet føres ud til siden, i stedet for at gå op i telefonen.”
If you drop your mobile phone on the floor, the shock will be transferred sideways rather than affecting the phone."
Når et helt nyt materiale opdages, tager det almindeligvis en del år før det kan benyttes kommercielt.
When a new material is discovered, it usually takes several years before it can be commercialized.
Men i dette tilfælde er materialet allerede således, at forbrugerne formentlig kan få gavn af det i en ikke så fjern fremtid.
But in this case, consumers will probably be able to benefit from the material in the not too distant future.

Lektor Steffen Foss Hansens doktorafhandling er et gennemarbejdet forslag til en lovgivning om brugen af nanomaterialer.
Associate Professor Steffen Foss Hansen's doctoral dissertation is a thorough proposal for a legislation on the use of nanomaterials.
For det er på høje tid, mener han.
For it is high time, he believes.
Nanoteknologi er fantastisk.
Nanotechnology is fantastic.
Det mener lektor Steffen Foss Hansen, og han har virkelig noget at have det i.
This is the opinion of Steffen Foss Hansen, and his view is based on a solid foundation.
Han har nemlig forsket i risiko og regulering af nanomaterialer i ti år og er netop blevet doktor efter at have forsvaret en afhandling med titlen ”Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, Categorisation and Tools to Evaluate Nanomaterials - Opportunities and Weaknesses”.
He has, in fact, conducted research into risk and regulation of nanomaterials for ten years, and he has recently earned a doctorate after having defended his dissertation entitled ‘Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, Categorisation and Tools to Evaluate Nanomaterials - Opportunities and Weaknesses'.
Ordene siger, hvad den handler om, men er også omhyggeligt valgt og sammensat for at kunne danne undertitlen 'REACT NOW'.
The words in the title obviously indicate the subject-matter of the thesis, but they have also been carefully chosen and combined to form the subtitle ‘REACT NOW'.
”Nanoteknologien og brugen af nanomaterialer blomstrer og udvikler sig hele tiden, men rent lovgivningsmæssigt går det utrolig trægt.
“Nanotechnology and the use of nanomaterials are flourishing and are constantly developing, but-in terms of legislation-things are moving incredibly slowly.
Der er faktisk frit slag for producenterne til at bruge nanomaterialer eller bare nævne ordet nano i produktets navn, uden at myndighederne har mulighed for at evaluere materialerne eller dokumentere, at de faktisk er til stede.
In fact, manufacturers are completely free to use nanomaterials-or simply mention the word nano in the product name-without the authorities being able to evaluate the materials or document that they are actually present.
Databasen er skabt og vedligeholdes af Steffen og hans kolleger i DTU Miljø, og den indeholder foreløbig flere end 3000 produkter.
The database has been created and is maintained by Steffen and his colleagues in DTU Environment, and, so far, it contains more than 3,000 products.
Da databasen først var på plads, begyndte Steffen af få idéer til, hvordan man kunne kategorisere produkterne og evaluere dem i forhold til risiko for mennesker og miljø.
Once the database was up and running, Steffen started having ideas for how to categorize the products and evaluate them in relation to human and environmental risk.
”I over halvdelen af tilfældene kan vi ikke engang sige, hvilket nanomateriale, der er er tale om.
“In more than half the cases, we can't even determine the type of nanomaterial in question.
Producenten oplyser måske, at der er brugt nanomaterialer, men ikke hvilke og til hvilket formål.
The manufacturer may perhaps state that nanomaterials have been used, but without specifying which ones and for what purpose.
'Nano' er simpelthen blevet et ord, der sælger.
'Nano' has quite simply become a word that sells products.
Her på DTU Miljø har vi apparaturet til at lave analyserne, men vi har ikke kunnet skaffe penge til at gøre det på alle produkter i basen.
Here at DTU Environment, we have the apparatus to perform analyses, but we have not been able to obtain the funding necessary to analyse all products in the database.
Farvekoder for farlighed
Colour codes for hazardousness
Han mener dog ikke, at man helt skal opgive at evaluere produkterne i forhold til sundhed og miljø.
However, he does not believe that evaluation of the products in terms of health and environment should be abandoned completely.
Her kommer den anden motordel nemlig ind: Steffen og hans kolleger har udviklet et visuelt overbevisende system, hvor hvert produkt tildeles farven rød, gul eller grøn (eller grå, hvis man ikke kender materialet) i fem faste kategorier.
This is, in fact, where the second engine part kicks in: Steffen and his colleagues have developed a visually convincing system in which each product is assigned the colour red, yellow, or green (or grey if the material is known) in five permanent categories.
De tre første kategorier siger noget om graden af eksponering i forhold til professionelle, almindelige forbrugere og miljø og de to næste om, hvad vi ved om potentielle effekter på henholdsvis mennesker og miljø.
The first three categories concern the degree of exposure in relation to professional users, ordinary consumers, and the environment, and the last two categories refer to our knowledge of potential impacts on humans and the environment, respectively.
”På den måde kan vi give en vurdering uden at vide præcis, hvilke koncentrationer af nanomaterialer, der er i det enkelte produkt.
“In this way, we can provide an evaluation without knowing exactly the concentrations of nanomaterials which the individual product contains.
Og man kan beslutte, at bestemte kombinationer af farvekoder fører til et krav om autorisation.
And it can be decided that certain combinations of colour codes will result in a requirement for authorization.
Hans database og kategorisering af produkterne er således et skelet til en kommende lovgivning for nanomaterialer.
His database and categorization of the products are thus a framework for future legislation on nanomaterials.

”Jeg kan se, at der er ekstremt stor interesse for afhandlingen, både internationalt og herhjemme.
“I can see that the dissertation has generated huge interest, both internationally and in Denmark.
Men afhandlingen ender jo ikke nødvendigvis på Borgen eller i Europa-Parlamentet.
But the dissertation will not necessarily end up in the Danish Parliament or the European Parliament.
Med mere end 5000 delegerede, der besøgte den årlige EAGE-konference i København, var konferencen en af de mest velbesøgte EAGE-konferencer.
With more than 5000 delegates visiting the annual EAGE Conference in Copenhagen, the conference was one of the most well attended EAGE conferences.
Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Center var til stede overalt med en række præsentationer, chairs på møder og med en stand.
Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre were present all over with a number of presentations, chairs at sessions and a stand.
Arrangementet var en god mulighed for at vise centrets arbejde.
The event was a good possibility to show the centre's work.
Allerede inden dørene åbnede til konferencen, deltog Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Center (DHRTC) aktivt i planlægningen og udførelsen af arrangementet.
Even before the doors opened up to the conference, Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre (DHRTC) were actively taking part in the planning and execution of the event.
"EAGEs årlige konference er en af verdens førende konferencer for anvendt geovidenskab, og det er en god chance for DHRTC at vise folk fra industri og den akademiske verden, hvad vi arbejder med,” siger Michael Welch, forsker ved DHRTC og en del af planlægningsholdet på EAGE 2018, mens han fortsætter:
“The EAGE annual conference is one of the world's leading conferences for applied geoscience, and being held in Copenhagen this year was a good opportunity for DHRTC to show people from industry and academia what we are doing,” tells Michael Welch, researcher at DHRTC and part of the planning team at EAGE 2018, while continuing:
"Vi var fremtrædende inden for det tekniske program og arrangerede særlige sessioner om emner af interesse, såsom fraktureret kalk, høj-opløselig CT scanning, vandinjektion ved brug af vand med modificeret salinitet og hydro-termal-mekanisk modellering, samt at give 12 præsentationer, der viser vores egen forskning.
“We were prominent in the technical programme, organising dedicated sessions on topics of interest such as fractured chalk, high resolution CT scanning, modified salinity waterflooding and hydro-thermal-mechanical modelling, as well as giving 12 presentations showing our own research.
Via vores stand kom vi derudover i kontakt med studerende, akademikere og industrifolk, der var interesserede i vores arbejde."
In addition, our stand in the exhibition allowed us to make contact with students, academics and people from industry who were interested in our work.”
Under konferencen var der ti præsentationer fra centret om blandt andet Radial Jet Drilling, termodynamiske modeller, dynamisk modellering og cementering af kridt.
During the conference, ten presentations from the centre focusing on e.g. Radial Jet Drilling, thermodynamic models, dynamic modelling and cementation of chalk and fractures were presented.
På centrets standen mødte kolleger folk fra den akademiske verden såvel som industri og serviceudbydere.
At the centre's stand, colleagues met people from the academic world as well as industry and service providers.
"Da jeg var på DHRTC-standen, tog jeg muligheden for at møde nogle af de andre universitetsrepræsentanter for at lære mere om deres tilgang til forskning i olie og gas.
“When I was at the DHRTC stand I took the opportunity to meet some of the other university representatives to learn more about their approach to research related to oil and gas.
Jeg nød at tale med dem og de mange studerende, der kom af vores stand.
I enjoyed talking to them and to the many students that came by our stand.
EAGE-studenterkonkurrencen gav en glimrende mulighed for at starte en samtale og diskutere udfordringer, der skyldes Nordsøens kridtformationer,” siger Charlotte Lassen, Reservoir Engineer Advisor hos DHRTC.
The EAGE student competition provided an excellent opportunity to start a conversation and to discuss challenges producing from the tight chalk formations,” says Charlotte Lassen, Reservoir Engineer Advisor at DHRTC.

DTU deltager i et konsortium for arktiske forskningsisbrydere, som vil give forskere bedre adgang til at indsamle data i Arktis
DTU is part of a new Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium, which will provide researchers with improved access to investigate the Arctic
Adgang til forskningsisbrydere er afgørende, når forskere skal udføre videnskabelige undersøgelser i det isdækkede Arktis - et område, der er tidspres på at få undersøgt, inden havisen forsvinder.
Research icebreakers are a crucial infrastructure and tool for conducting scientific investigations in the ice-covered areas of the Arctic Ocean, which urgently need to be explored before they disappear.
Dette behov er nu taget op af det EU-finansierede Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium (ARICE).
This need has now been taken up by the EU funded Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium (ARICE).
Konsortiet, der består af femten partnere, herunder DTU, fra tretten forskellige lande, har som formål at forbedre koordineringen af den eksisterende polarforskningsflåde, at tilbyde forskere adgang til forskningsisbrydere og at styrke samarbejdet med den maritime sektor.
The consortium, consisting of fifteen partners, including DTU, from thirteen different countries aims at improving the coordination of the existing polar research fleet, at offering scientists access to six research icebreakers and at collaborating closely with the maritime industry.
ARICE-projektet afholder kick-off-møde på det tyske maritime museum i Bremerhaven 6. og 7. februar 2018.
The project kick-off meeting takes place at the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven 6 to 7 February 2018.
Bedre adgang til forskningsfartøjer
Better access to polar research vessels
Ud over at give forskere på tværs af landegrænser adgang til tid på forskningsisbrydere vil ARICE udvikle strategier for at sikre en koordineret og forbedret anvendelse af de eksisterende polarforskningsfartøjer på europæisk og internationalt plan.
Besides granting transnational access to time on research icebreakers, ARICE will develop strategies to ensure a coordinated and improved use of the existing polar research vessels at a European and international level.
Det er tanken, at kommercielle fartøjer, der opererer i Arktis, skal kunne indsamle oceaniske og atmosfæriske data, mens de sejler.
By establishing a programme of ships and platforms of opportunity, commercial vessels operating in the Arctic Ocean will collect oceanic and atmospheric data on their cruises.
Der er også kommet en række andre videnskabelige data ud af missionen.
The mission has also produced a number of other scientific data.
DTU Space er udvalgt til at lede arbejdet med at vælge nye projekter for den europæiske rumorganisation ESA, som skal sikre, at de store datamængder fra Swarm-missionen udnyttes optimalt.
DTU Space has been chosen to head the work of selecting new projects for the European Space Agency, ESA , which are to ensure that the large volumes of data from the Swarm mission are used optimally.
Det er første gang ESA uddelegerer denne type opgave
It is the first time that ESA delegates this type of task.
Den Europæiske rumorganisation ESA har udvalgt DTU Space til at stå i spidsen for at udvælge forskningsrelevante emner og udbyde og indgå kontrakter omkring udnyttelse af data fra ESA's succesfulde satellit-mission Swarm .
The European Space Agency, ESA, has selected DTU Space to head the selecting of research-relevant topics and tendering out and concluding contracts concerning the exploitation of data from ESA's successfu l Swarm satellite mission .
”Det er en innovativ ide.
“It's an innovative idea.
Vi ser det som en stor anerkendelse af vores ekspertise og indsats på området, at ESA har betroet os opgaven med at få anvendt og udbredt de mange data så meget som muligt”, siger professor Nils Olsen på DTU Space, som leder Swarm DISC-konsortiet, der arbejder med at udnytte de store mængder videnskabelige data fra Swarm-satellitterne.
We see it as a great recognition of our expertise and our efforts in this area that ESA has entrusted us the task of exploiting and spreading as many data as possible,” says Professor Nils Olsen from DTU Space, head of the Swarm DISC consortium working on exploiting the large volumes of scientific data from the Swarm satellites.
”Hidtil er alle ESAs udbud blevet udarbejdet internt og har gennemgået en intern bedømmelse.
“So far, all ESA's tenders have been prepared internally and have been subjected to internal assessments.
Men når det gælder data om Jordens magnetfelt har man nu valgt at uddelegere opgaven til os som eksterne eksperter og leder af Swarm DISC-projektet, for at sikre den nødvendige indsigt, når opgaver udbydes og projektforslag skal vurderes og godkendes”.
But when it comes to data about the Earth's magnetic field, ESA has now decided to delegate the task to us as external experts and manager of the Swarm DISC project to ensure the necessary insight when tendering out tasks and assessing and approving project proposals.”
Det er på længere sigt tanken, at denne nye procedure skal anvendes på andre ESA missioner.
In the longer term, the aim is for this new procedure to be used for other ESA missions.
De fire første opgaver er sendt i udbud.
The four first tasks have been tendered out.
Det er projekter til en værdi af cirka 750.000 kroner, som kan søges af alle i de lande, der deltager i ESA's Jordobservationsprogram 4 og 5 .
The projects are worth approx. DKK 750,000 which can be applied for by all of the countries participating in the ESA Earth observation programmes 4 and 5 .
Swarm-satellitterne har kortlagt Jordens magnetfelt med høj præcision.
The Swarm satellites have mapped the Earth's magnetic field with high precision.
Der er også kommet en række andre videnskabelige opdagelser ud af missionen.
A number of other scientific discoveries have also been made on the basis of the mission.
Derfor udbydes de fire nye opgaver nu.
Therefore, four new tasks are now being tendered out.
Der er en stigende interesse for teknologiske løsninger, som kan håndtere affald og spildevand i afsidesliggende byer og bygder i Arktis.
There is an increasing interest in new technological solutions for waste and wastewater management in remote towns and settlements in the Arctic.
Det er en af konklusionerne fra DTU Bygs internationale konference ARTEK Event 2016, hvor flere af disse løsninger blev præsenteret.
That is one of the conclusions from DTU Civil Engineering's international conference ARTEK Event 2016, where several solutions to handle the issue were presented.
Med over 100 deltagere og 55 oplæg var tilslutningen til konferencen den største nogensinde.
With over 100 participants and 55 presentations, the attendance for the conference was by far the largest ever.
Afstandene er store i Arktis, og de beboede områder ligger ofte mange hundrede kilometer fra hinanden.
Vast distances and residential areas located several hundred kilometres apart are characteristic for the Arctic.
Derfor er der en stigende interesse for løsninger til affalds- og spildevandshåndtering, som er tilpasset afsidesliggende byer og bygder, hvor opkobling til centrale løsninger i forhold ikke ligger lige for.
Therefore, there is a growing interest in solutions for waste and wastewater management adapted to remote towns and villages where connection to a central solution is not a straightforward practice.
Det var en af konklusionerne på den internationale konference ARTEK Event 2016, som for nylig blev afholdt af Center for Arktisk Teknologi (ARTEK) ved DTU Byg.
That was one of the conclusions from the international conference ARTEK Event 2016, recently organised by the Centre for Arctic Technology (ARTEK) at DTU Civil Engineering.
Med over 100 deltagere og 55 oplæg var tilslutningen til ARTEK Event 2016 den største, siden konferencen startede i 2005.
With over 100 participants and 55 presentations, ARTEK Event 2016 was by far the largest since the conference started in 2005.
Temaet for konferencen var ”Sanitation in Cold Climate Regions”, og særligt nye metoder til håndtering af affald og spildevand var på dagsordenen.
The topic of the conference was "Sanitation in Cold Climate Regions", and particularly new methods of waste and wastewater management were on the agenda.
Fokus på lokalt tilpassede og transportable løsninger
Focus on locally adaptable and portable solutions
Det betyder, at transport af materialer kan være overordentlig vanskeligt.
This means that the transportation of materials can be extremely difficult.
Denne type løsning fokuserer arkitekten Aaron Cooke blandt andet på.
