Bronze relief of Nobel laureates at the Niels Bohr Institute
2013-05-17
The Niels Bohr Institute is probably the only building in the world that has provided the setting for no less than four Nobel laureates. A new bronze relief has been made in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Niels Bohr’s atomic model and in commemoration of the four physicists.
Today's global warming follows more than 1000 years of colder climates
2013-04-22
A new international study of past climate shows that the global temperature was getting colder and colder for more than 1000 years until the year 1900, after which global warming raised the temperature significantly in just...
Researchers close to finding habitable planets
2013-04-18
Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute and Aarhus University are part of a team that has discovered a planetary system with five small planets of which two are super-Earth sized and lie in the habitable zone.
Most distant Type Ia supernova observed
2013-04-11
In the quest to find the most distant supernova, researchers have broken the record and observed a supernova that exploded more than 10 billion years ago. This was in the early youth of the universe when it was evolving rapidly
Nanowire solar cells raises efficiency limit
2013-03-24
Scientists from the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institut have shown that a single nanowire can concentrate the sunlight up to 15 times of the normal sun light intensity. The results are surprising and the potential is great
Planck satellite explores the infancy of the universe
2013-03-21
Using new data from the Planck satellite, researchers can now show that the universe is not expanding as fast as previously thought and the universe is 80 million years older than we thought.
More hurricane surges in the future
2013-03-18
How many extreme storm surges like that from Hurricane Katrina, which hit the U.S. coast in 2005, will there be as a result of global warming? New research from the Niels Bohr Institute show that there will be a tenfold increase
Greenland ice cores reveal warm climate of the past
2013-01-22
New research from the NEEM ice core drilling project in Greenland shows that the warm Eemian period - 130,000 and 115,000 years ago was warmer than previously thought.
The paths of photons are random – but coordinated
2012-12-20
Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have demonstrated that photons (light particles) emitted from light sources embedded in a complex and disordered structure are able to mutually coordinate their paths through the medium
New knowledge about the remarkable properties of black holes
2012-12-11
Black holes are surrounded by many mysteries, but now researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have come up with new groundbreaking theories that can explain several of their properties.
