The Cosmic DAWN Center at the Niels Bohr Institute is pleased to wish the Hubble Space Telescope a happy birthday celebrating 30 years in orbit!

Quantum research unifies two ideas offering an alternative route to topological superconductivity

Researchers from University of Copenhagen have discovered a new way of developing topological superconductivity that may provide a useful route toward the use of Majorana zero modes as the foundation of qubits for…

Researchers have found the queen of supernovas: Shines brighter than any previously found

Astronomers from the University of Copenhagen, among others, have discovered the queen of all supernovas. A stellar explosion twice as bright as any run-of-the-mill supernova. An unprecedented observation, according to…

Quantum technology in fibre-optic networks will protect against hacks

A new research project and nearly DKK 18 million (€2.4 million) from Innovation Fund Denmark will transform 15 years of quantum research at the University of Copenhagen into commercial products for unhackable encryption…

Coincidences influence the onset and ending of ice ages

An analysis of the so called climate spectrum shows why the ice ages have not behaved precisely as the models predict. A large element of coincidence is involved when an ice age begins or ends, the analysis shows. Peter…

The core of massive dying galaxies already formed 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang

The most distant dying galaxy discovered so far, more massive than our Milky Way — with more than a trillion stars — has revealed that the ‘cores’ of these systems had formed already 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang…
