Black holes helped quenching star formation in the early Universe

While some galaxies form stars at a continuous rate, others die out and lead a more passive life. What made these galaxies stop forming stars at an early age is not well established, not the least because they are so…

A quantum drum that stores quantum states for record-long times

With a coherence time of one hundred milliseconds, the membrane can for example store sensitive quantum information for further processing in a quantum computer or network.

Danish astrophysics student discovers link between global warming and locally unstable weather

A Danish astrophysics student at the Niels Bohr Institute has used a mathematical approach to unveil how global temperature increase engenders locally unstable weather on Earth.

Planets of binary stars as possible homes for alien life

Nearly half of Sun-size stars are binary. According to University of Copenhagen research, planetary systems around binary stars may be very different from those around single stars. This points to new targets in the…
