Norwegian researchers monitored a Chinese NIO ES8 electric SUV in an underground mine and found approximately 90% of its outbound connections reached servers in China, contradicting NIO's claims about local data processing in Europe. A parallel study by Norway's Ruter transport operator discovered that Chinese-made Yutong buses had remote access to battery and power systems, presenting potential security risks, while Dutch-made buses lacked such connectivity.
For most of the 20th century, IQ scores rose globally in what researchers call the Flynn effect, but this trend has reversed in several wealthy nations including Norway, Denmark, and Finland since the 1990s. Genetic factors and immigration have been ruled out as explanations, leaving researchers puzzled about which environmental factors—such as education changes, reading habits, or attention spans—might account for the decline.
Danish children learn their native language more slowly than Norwegian peers due to Danish's unique phonetic features: approximately 40 vowel sounds, consonant-to-vowel conversions, and syllable omission that blur word boundaries. Researchers from Aarhus University and Cornell found these peculiarities delay vocabulary acquisition and word learning, with effects persisting into adulthood.

Galileo satellites successfully demonstrated their new Signal Authentication Service (SAS) for the first time under real-world conditions in Norway and the Netherlands, protecting against jamming and spoofing attacks. The encrypted signal test marks a major milestone in Galileo's evolution, with SAS complementing the already-operational OSNMA to provide users with verified, trustworthy positioning data. Full service validation is expected next year before operational deployment.

Jammertest is an annual open-air PNT/GNSS resilience testing event held at Andøya, Norway, organized by multiple Norwegian government agencies and Testnor. The event provides real-world testing of navigation systems against jamming, spoofing, and meaconing attacks across four distinct test areas, leveraging Andøya's Arctic geography and isolation for high-power signal transmission without disrupting civil infrastructure.
