TITLE: Black Holes Snacking on Stars
MAPPING COSMIC HISTORY:
New insights into galaxy growth and dark matter from James Webb
Spanning 11 billion years, this unprecedented survey reveals unexpected patterns in galaxy mass, growth rates, and the relationship between galaxies and dark matter.
CLIMATE RESEARCH:
New international climate project in the North Atlantic
University of Copenhagen will lead a new international research project to improve knowledge of melting glaciers and ice sheet in the North Atlantic, and its impact on global climate and ecosystems.
NEW ESS LIGHTHOUSE:
New research lighthouse to focus on developing better food and medicine
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University receive a large grant to establish a new research center focusing on the potential of neutron-based methods to revolutionize pharmaceutical and food sciences.
ANTARCTICA:
Historic Drilling Campaign Reaches more than 1.2-Million-Year-Old Ice
It is expected that the 2,800 meter deep ice core drilling down to the bedrock under the Antarctic ice sheet for the first time will reveal crucial details about the earth's climate and the history of the atmosphere more than 800,000 years ago.
GLACIER FLOOD:
One of world's largest glacier floods triggered in Greenland
For the first time, scientists have observed the release of a massive glacial lake outburst in East Greenland, where more than 3,000 billion liters of meltwater were unleashed in just weeks.
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.
