In late May, we at NQCP had the pleasure of hosting a delegation of 11 esteemed quantum researchers from Berkeley Lab in California here in Copenhagen.

Invisible Galaxies, Through a Scientist’s Eyes

Glimpsing into the galaxies of the past: that is the daunting task that students from the University of Copenhagen have undertaken by analysing so-called Lyman-α emission.

James Webb discovers record-distant galaxy, again

With the confirmation of two galaxies seen around 300 million years after the Big Bang, we are now closer than ever before to the epoch of the formation of the first galaxies.

To Infinity and Beyond: A Visit to Caltech

Rodrigo Panosso Macedo was invited to visit Caltech this month, where his research program on a novel geometrical framework and numerical techniques for the field of black hole perturbation theory attracted significant…

Birth of universe’s earliest galaxies observed for first time

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, University of Copenhagen researchers have become the first to see the formation of three of the earliest galaxies in the universe, more than 13 billion years ago. The sensational…
