We are far from knowing all the sources of the countless neutrinos travelling through the universe. A new research project aims to change that, as these particles have much to teach us. They hardly interact with their surroundings – which means they may carry important, original information from cosmic events.

New research shows that some of the most massive galaxy groups have evolved more rapidly than anticipated. The galaxy group known as “The Cosmic Vine” contains far more inactive galaxies than previously observed – a characteristic normally associated with much more mature galaxies.

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.
