Breakthrough in light sources for new quantum technology Future quantum circuits are photonic circuits, i.e. circuits based on light (photons) instead of electrons. Now scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute have succeeded in creating a steady stream of photons emitted one at…
The FANTOM project charts an atlas of gene activity over the human body In 2003, the human DNA sequence was determined in the human genome project. Now, scientists in the FANTOM project determined exactly where in the body each gene encoded in DNA is active. This is important, because it i…
Plant scientists win Innovation Award The University of Copenhagen Innovation Award 2013 goes to Professor Barbara Ann Halkier for groundbreaking research in plant biotechnology with high potential for environment and society.
This is why it takes so long to get over tendon injuries By combining the nuclear tests of the 1950s with tissue samples and modern technology, a research collaboration now reveals why the healing process to get over tendon damage is so slow.
ERC advanced grant to BRIC researcher Kristian Helin Director and Professor at BRIC, Kristian Helin has received an ERC advanced grant for his research in molecular cancer biology.
Christmas burst puzzles On 25 December 2010, NASA’s Swift satellite detected an unusually bright and long-lived gamma-ray burst. Astrophysicists from DARK and their colleagues explain the unusual phenomenon in a new paper published in…
Research in cellular memory Associate Professor Anja Groth has received an ERC Starting Grant and has been selected for EMBO's Young Investigator Programme. Her research deals with how cells know what to become and how they sustain this memory…
