Quantum teleportation between atomic systems over long distances

The research group Quantum Optics at NBI has succeeded in teleporting information between two clouds of gas atoms and to carry out the teleportation – not just one or a few times, but successfully every single time

Rounded stones on Mars evidence of flowing water

Observations by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity have revealed areas with gravel and pebbles that are characteristic of a former riverbed. Researchers, including members of the Niels Bohr Institute, have analysed their...

Today's global warming follows more than 1000 years of colder climates

A new international study of past climate shows that the global temperature was getting colder and colder for more than 1000 years until the year 1900, after which global warming raised the temperature significantly in…

Researchers close to finding habitable planets

Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute and Aarhus University are part of a team that has discovered a planetary system with five small planets of which two are super-Earth sized and lie in the habitable zone.

Denmark contributing to the world's largest telescope for searching for life in the unive

The Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University and DTU space are investing at total of 37 million kroner in a new telescope, which will be called the European Extremely Large Telescope,…

Most distant Type Ia supernova observed

In the quest to find the most distant supernova, researchers have broken the record and observed a supernova that exploded more than 10 billion years ago. This was in the early youth of the universe when it was evolvin…

Birger Lindberg Møller Appointed Corresponding Member of Australian Academy of Sciences

After decades of close collaborations with the scientific environment in Australia, Director of Center for Synthetic Biology Birger Lindberg Møller has been named Corresponding Member by the Australian Academy of…

Planck satellite explores the infancy of the universe

Using new data from the Planck satellite, researchers can now show that the universe is not expanding as fast as previously thought and the universe is 80 million years older than we thought.

Significant contribution to sea-level rise

Glaciers at the edge of Greenland which are not connected to its huge ice sheet, or can be clearly separated from it, are contributing to sea-level rise much more than previously thought.

More hurricane surges in the future

How many extreme storm surges like that from Hurricane Katrina, which hit the U.S. coast in 2005, will there be as a result of global warming? New research from the Niels Bohr Institute show that there will be a tenfold…

Greenland ice cores reveal warm climate of the past

New research from the NEEM ice core drilling project in Greenland shows that the warm Eemian period - 130,000 and 115,000 years ago was warmer than previously thought.
