World-class research into Greenland's oldest ice and the Universe's densest stars win very large EU grants

When was Greenland actually green? And how does the Universe make gold, platinum and uranium? Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have just received 11.4 million euro to answer these big questions. The…

Master student discovers a group of galaxies clustered together in the early Universe

While developing and testing astronomical software on existing data, a master student in astronomy fortuitously discovered a group of galaxies in the very early Universe.

Researcher: Cultural aspects of quantum theory are missing in physics classes 

Quantum mechanics is interpreted in many different – often unscientific – ways. This opens up questions about the foundations of quantum theory and its relationship with culture that physics educators should not ignore,…
