Largest James Webb program yet approved: led by researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center

Among the successful proposals that have now been selected by the committee is the largest program ever conducted with Webb, “COSMOS-3D”, led by assistant professor Koki Kakiichi at the Cosmic Dawn Center.

Superradiant atoms could push the boundaries of how precisely time can be measured

Superradiant atoms can help us measure time more precisely than ever. In a new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen present a new method for measuring the time interval, the second, mitigating some of th…

Physicists develop modeling software to diagnose serious diseases

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen and University of Southern Denmark have recently published FreeDTS – a shared software package designed to model and study biological membranes.

Searching for ringdown higher modes

Do black holes behave as we expect? Is General Relativity the correct theory of gravity in the dynamical high-curvature regime? Spacetime vibrations, generated when the remnant black hole briefly shakes for a few…

Sarah Pearson among Berlingske’s top 100 talents

Each year Berlingske selects the 100 most promising young talents in Denmark in private industry and the public sector.

Elegant use of noise for quantum computing

Scientists around the world work hard to rinse quantum systems for noise, which may disturb the function of tomorrow’s powerful quantum computers. Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have found a way to use noise…
