Robots can improve agriculture, but old laws stand in the way

Agricultural robots have the potential to address labour shortages and increase global food security. However, outdated laws are an obstacle for these new technologies according to a new study from the University of…

Economics of climate change: One per cent makes a world of difference

Researchers develop tracking tool that reveals toxic compounds in indoor environments

Contaminated soil beneath a dwelling can send toxic fumes through flooring and affect the health of residents. At the same time, furniture, paint, building materials and other household items also release compounds that…

UCPH astronomers find six distant – and mysteriously dead – galaxies

Astronomers from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), among others, have peered back 10-12 billion years into the universe and found six galaxies that mysteriously ran out of gas…

The bridge builder who opened up computer science

After 35 years of research, Jørgen Bansler now becomes professor emeritus. He has built a bridge between computer science, humanities, and social science.

Astronomers see the same supernova three times — and predict a fourth to appear in 16 years

The enormous gravitation of a cluster of galaxies warps space to the extent that light from distant galaxies is deflected and brought to us from multiple directions. This effect has enabled astronomers from the…
