Danish Student solves how the Universe is reflected near black holes

Space is so warped around black holes that even light rays curve around them. However, this has not been given mathematical expression before now, when Albert Sneppen, student at the Niels Bohr Institute, made the…

Researchers: Let crop residues rot in the field – it’s a climate win

Plant material that lies to rot in soil isn’t just valuable as compost. In fact, agricultural crop residue plays a crucial role in sequestering carbon, which is vital for reducing global CO2 emissions. This, according t…

Ancient riddle solved: Danish researchers find a way to make faba beans safe for all to eat

Consuming large amounts of faba beans can be dangerous for about 400 million people due to a compound called vicine, which accumulates in the beans. This limits their potential as a widespread, sustainable source of…
