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…

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…
