The paths of photons are random – but coordinated
20. december 2012
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

Brian Møller Andersen, associate professor of condensed matter physics at the Niels Bohr Institute has received 10 million kroner from the Lundbeck Foundation to research new super superconducting materials
Raining millions to NBI researchers
08. oktober 2012
Six researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, Kim Lefmann, Klaus Galsgaard, Uffe Gråe Jørgensen, Poul Henrik Damgaard, Jan W. Thomsen and Peter Lodahl have received grants from the Danish Agency for Science Technology and Innovation, FNU.
Breaking the limits of classical physics
07. juni 2012
Researchers from NBI have made a simple experiment that demonstrates that nature violates common sense. The experiment illustrates that light does not behave according to the principles of classical physics...

Cooling semiconductor by laser light
22. januar 2012
Researchers at the NBI have combined two worlds – quantum physics and nano physics, and this has led to the discovery of a new method for laser cooling semiconductor membranes
Two giant grants from the EU to the Niels Bohr Institute
28. oktober 2011
The Niels Bohr Institute has received two large research grants totalling 35 million kroner from ERC. The two recipients are Eugene Polzik, professor and head of Quantop and Jan Ambjørn, professor with...
Peter Lodahl new professor of quantum photonics at NBI
08. september 2011
The Niels Bohr Institute has just appointed a new professor, Peter Lodahl, and in doing so have added an entirely new field of research, quantum photonics, which is a fusion of quantum optics and nanophysics.
New record for measurement of atomic lifetime
07. september 2011
Researchers at NBI have measured the lifetime of a stable energy level of magnesium atoms. The new measurements show a lifetime of up to approx. ½ hour. This is the longest ever measured in a laboratory.
