Niels Bohr Institute
Zvi Bern is awarded the Niels Bohr Institute of Honour for his remarkable list of scientific achievements in theoretical physics. His association with the Niels Bohr Institute goes back more than 40 years.

Zvi Bern receives the Niels Bohr Institute Medal of Honour, 2024

Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have created a novel pathway into the study of the elusive quantum states in superconducting vortices. The existence of these was flouted in the 1960s, but has remained very difficult to verify directly because those states are squeezed into energy scales smaller than one can typically resolve in experiments.

A 1960s idea inspires NBI researchers to study hitherto inaccessible quantum states

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of researchers led by a Danish bachelor student has uncovered surprising new details about the fine structure of cosmic dust in nearby 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.

Labs and 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.
