Niels Bohr Institute > Research


The dynamic research at the Niels Bohr Institute spans Astronomy, Geophysics, Nanophysics, Particles Physics, Quantum Physics and Biophysics. We explore the smallest sub-atomic particles to stars and planets, gamma rays and distant galaxies in the universe.

Fundamental Research is based on observations, fieldwork, laboratory experiments and theoretical models for the purpose of understanding basic laws and complex truths on this world.

International Research. The Institute has a broad network of scientific cooperation, and a lively exchange of collaborators and guests with leading international research groups.

  • Astronomy

    Astronomers and astrophysicists research planets, stars, galaxies and the dark matter and energy of the universe. astronomy >>

  • Geophysics

    Geophysicists unravel the climate of the past and elucidate the present. Their research include ice cores from Greenland and all the planets of our solar system. geophysics >>

  • Particle Physics

    Particle physicists use massive supercolliders and intriguing theories to recreate the firsts seconds of our universe. particle physics >>

  • Quantum Physics

    Quantum physicists work with extremely cold atoms, quantum optics and teleportation. quantum physics >>

  • Biophysics

    Biophysicists create models of biological networks and research the behaviors of living systems. biophysics >>

  • Nano Physics

    Nano physicists examine the odd nature of materials made visible when their dimensions approach the nanometer scale. nano physics >>
