Astronomers: Planet Earth is not alone

Extra-terrestrial life is now considered more likely. This is after a six-year study by scientists shows a multitude of Earth-like planets

Budget shock: Science park needs extra DKK 265m

The planned Niels Bohr Science Park will now cost more than DKK 1.5 billion, as costs spiral. New projections point to a nine per cent space increase and more expensive facilities

'Superhero' vision at particle ...

Who hasn’t dreamt of possessing the powers of superheros e.g. the x-ray vision of the superhero Superman.

One hundred years ago the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen achieved this goal with his discovery of the penetration power of some short wavelength electromagnetic radiation, which he termed X-rays. He used this radiation to take the world’s first X-ray image. The chosen object was the hand of his wife (pictured in the photo story above).

The new Niels Bohr Science Park will be finished in 2014-2015 corresponding to the centennial of two seminal articles of physicist Niels Bohr, introducing the Nuclear Age.

Five subject areas will have their address there: physics, chemistry, computer science, science education and mathematics, a total of 3-4.000 students and 800 researchers, PhD students and a large administration.

The winning design is from Christensen and co. / Vilhelm Lauritzen, with Rambøll DK as lead advisor. The pictures are from Christensen and co.
