Niels Bohr Institute

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, steered very thin conductors from superconductivity to insulation – creating an “impossible”, strange state between the two mutually exclusive states.

QUANTUM COMPUTING:

The anomalous metal – new light on the strange behavior of quantum fluctuations between competing states of matter

IceCube MasterClass for gymnasieelever på Niels Bohr Institutet.

NIELS BOHR INSTITUTET:

IceCube MasterClass 2025, 28. oktober fra kl. 9:00-15:00

Tilmeldingsfrist: 19. oktober 2025

Largest collision ever recorded: Gravitational waves shake the very fabric of the universe when black holes collide. Today we measure these events and use them to understand the cosmos.

LARGEST COLLISION EVER RECORDED:

Colossal Collisions in Space send Shockwaves through the Universe

Physics at the University of Copenhagen

At the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, we research and teach within a broad spectrum of physics areas: Quantum computers and quantum communication, astrophysics, particle physics, computational physics, solid state physics, climate and geophysics and biophysics.

Research facilities

With us, you get access to a wide range of advanced equipment in bio- and quantum technology, supercomputers, workshops in both electronics and mechanics as well as special laboratory facilities that are necessary to support the research process. Our astrophysicists have observation time on the largest telescopes, e.g. James Webb Space Telescope.
