New study warns: We have underestimated the pace at which the Arctic is melting

Arctic sea ice is melting more quickly than once assumed. Today’s climate models have yet to incorporate the steep rise in temperatures that have occurred over the past 40 years. This, according to a new study by…

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…
