Artificial intelligence enhances efficacy of sleep disorder treatments

An algorithm based on 20,000 nights of sleep that can improve the diagnosis, treatment and our overall understanding of sleep disorders has been developed at the University of Copenhagen.

Physics students train on IBM Quantum technology

The Niels Bohr Institute will start training future generations of quantum physicists, next winter, when undergraduate students in the physics program will take courses that include using IBM's cloud-based quantum…

Green network to strengthen cross-disciplinary research into green transition

Flint stone sounds suggest a Stone Age settlement in Copenhagen’s Svanemøllen Harbour

A new method has made it possible for University of Copenhagen researchers to register mysterious sounds from the sea at Svanemøllen Harbour, most likely originating from chipped-away flint tools of an unknown Stone Age…

Study reveals new details on what happened during the first microsecond of Big Bang

Researchers from University of Copenhagen have investigated what happened to a specific kind of plasma – the first matter ever to be present - during the first microsecond of Big Bang. Their findings provide a piece of…
