The first quantum computer has arrived. The version of a quantum chip that recently came out of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen is now for sale, but it has already been sold out. The price is cheap according to professor Peter Lodahl from Sparrow Quantum who has recently moved out of the old Niels Bohr Institute to the other side of the street. Not a big move but a quantum leap. Science journalist Jens Degett is talking to Peter Lodahl in this podcast trying to understand what a quantum computer can do, how it works and what purpose it will serve.

Another year has passed - so welcome to the Science Stories New Year podcast 2025. My name is Jens Degett and as tradition dictates, in this New Year's program, I play soundbites and tell stories about a selected sample of the last year's podcasts from Science Stories. One of our limitations is language. Our podcast in Danish has by definition a very small audience. In the course of the years, we have a total number of podcasts plays on our own portal of more than 400.000 plays since we started. Listeners were mostly from Denmark, the Nordic countries and Greenland. I mentioned last year that we have an increasing audience around Europe and not least in Ohio-USA, and the rest of the world where our podcasts are listened to when they are published in English. As an experiment we have decided to make English the primary language of Science Stories. I cannot guarantee that all podcasts will be in English, but most of them will. If we find support for it we will switch permanently to English. An alternative solution could be that we publish in two languages with an AI translation. In 2024 I received a Maria Leptin Science Journalism Fellowship. I spent two month at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and one month at EMBL in Heidelberg. There is a lot to talk about and I can really recommend to spend time with the researchers and get closer to the research institutions, There is a lot to tell from 2024 so if you missed it you may go back and find the stories in our archive. Enjoy. Foto kredit: Jens Degett © Science Stories ApS

You may have heard about about space telescopes and gravitational wave detectors which are new instruments for the investigation of space and the universe. Now a new instrument is being tested underneath the South Pole. It literally consists of a cubic kilometer large ice cube with detectors that can catch small light emissions from a long distance. This instrument is giving us a new look at the universe very different from the electromagnetic light we can see in a traditional telescope. Science Journalist Jens Degett is interviewing senior researcher Troels Petersen from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen about the new type of telescope and what it can measure. This podcast is supported by a Maria Leptin / EMBO Science Journalism Fellowship.

Several research groups all over the world are working intensively around the clock driving rowers around and making experiments on Mars. A lot is happening, and we are learning a lot every day. Senior researcher Morten Bo Madsen from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen explains to science Journalist Jens Degett some of the latest results presented rently. Huge amount of water is detected beneath the surface of Mars. Astrophysicist states that travel to Mars can be done in two weeks with unlimited fuel and power. Stone with organic like materials collected to be sent to Earth. MOXIE a success! If you wonder why the podcast is in English, and not Danish it is because we have an increasing number of listeners whenever we publish a podcast in English. Therefore, we make the experiment the next few months to produce all our podcasts in English. This podcast is supported by a Maria Leptin / EMBO Science Journalism Fellowship.

Life has existed and evolved on earth for almost 4 billion years. Living organisms copy themselves from other life and central for all known life forms is the genetic code. We are used to hear life described by biologists. but physicists have access to tools which can give a different and to some extend deeper understanding of life. Science Journalist Jens Degett is visiting the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen, Denmark, talking with Professor in physics Kim Sneppen. If you wonder why the podcast is in English, and not Danish it is because we have an increasing number of listeners whenever we publish a podcast in English. Therefore, we make the experiment the next few months to produce all our podcasts in English. This podcast is supported by a Maria Leptin / EMBO Science Journalism Fellowship.

Today's story is a good example of how little we know about biology and life, and how we can use our knowledge to better fight diseases and environmental threats. We are going to talk about bacteriophages or just fages. These are small viruses which attack bacteria. The story is literally about life and death and most organisms on earth are being killed every week. Senior researcher Namiko Mitarai from the biocomplexity group at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen Namiko Mitarai is being interviewe by Science Journalist Jens Degett.

Superstrings was a very popular topic among physicists in the 1980ies. They had a renaissance in 1995 but then the researchers changed focus to other things. Now superstrings have gained new momentum in physics again. Professor Niels Obers from the Niels Bohr Institute explains what superstrings and string theory is. He also explains why superstrings are popular among researchers. Science journalists Jens Degett is interviewing.

Center for Exolife Sciences at the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen organised this week a conference under the theme "Are we a unique species on a unique planet or are we just the ordinary standard?" We may already have detected traces of life in the atmosphere of the distant planet called K2 18b. During four days in Copenhagen 100 researchers were discussing how we interpret signs of life outside our planet. In this podcast science journalist Jens Degett is interviewing professor Nikku Madhusudhan from University of Cambridge on exoplanetary atmosphere analysis. and former NASA Chief Historian and Director of the NASA History Officer Steven Dick on conspiracy aliens in the media.

We are used to think about the universe as a structure which started with a Big Bang and then expanded. Sir Roger Penrose, who received the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, has developed an alternative theory of the universe based on Einstein's Theory of General Relativity which is called "Conformal Cyclic Cosmology". In this new model we don't have one single Big Bang, but an iteration of infinite cycles (or aeons) of expansion and cooling, each beginning with a “big bang” and ending in a “big crunch”. Science Journalist Jens Degett interviews Professor Niels Obers, Director of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) and professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, on Roger Penrose's theory and how much evidence is needed in order to change the general view of a central paradigm which is written in our school textbooks. What if Penrose is right? What consequences or perspectives will it have for us?

When someone begins to study the evolution of the universe and the laws of physics, one easily comes to wonder how strange it is that humans and life exist, and that we are able to observe the universe. If the laws and constants of nature were just a little bit different, the occurrence of life would be unthinkable. However, we can state that we are here, and this raises a number of other issues, such as: Has the universe always been able to sustain life? Will the universe continue to sustain the existence of life in the future ? Are we just one of many universes that exist in parallel? Science Journalist Jens Degett from Science Stories talks to Professor Niels Obers, professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Photo: Jens Degett

Gravitational waves is a strange phenomena which was predicted already by Albert Einstein. To understand gravitational waves you need to understand gravitation. In this podcast professor Niels Obers describe gravitation in Newtonian terms and in the frame of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Both descriptions are incomplete but due to research with gravitational waves we may reach to a better understanding of these phenomena. Since 2015 where gravitational waves were first detected with certainty, a number of new gravitational wave detectors are being build and researchers are learning more about the ripples in time, space and the fabric of the universe.

As we reach the tipping points of climate change, how will our world change? Greenland has already lost 4,700 billion metric tons of ice, an amount that is enough to flood the entire United States in 1.5 feet of water.Peter D. Ditlevsen is an Associate Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University. The institute was founded in 1921 as the Institute for Theoretical Physics. Ditlevsen is a Professor in Physics of Ice, Climate, and Earth. His fields of interest include climate research, turbulence, meteorology, complex systems, time series analysis, and statistical physics.What happens if we lose the Greenland ice sheet and pass the tipping points and Earth systems shut down?If that shuts down, roughly speaking, the climate of Northern Europe would be like the climate of Alaska. So, climate models that actually simulate what happens when it's shut down, would say that England becomes like Northern Norway, which means that food security and things like that will be threatened because you cannot grow many crops in Northern Norway. And other models say precipitation changes, so places that are wet might become dry, and so on. So, these are of course severe consequences for Europe, but in some sense, this is going in the opposite direction of global warming. We're all talking about we're getting into a warmer world, but I'm talking about a cooling here. But the warm water that does not then flow from the tropics into the North Atlantic will stay in the tropics. And there, you're not contra-balancing global warming. There you will have the heating on top of the global warming. And that I see as maybe the largest problem we have is that the tropics become even warmer. And we have to realize if you live in a place where mean temperatures are maybe late thirties Celsius and or rise to the forties livelihood becomes very difficult.https://nbi.ku.dk/english/staff/?pure=en/persons/peter-ditlevsen(77e9801a-6b31-4488-a282-6c99a406a5f1)/cv.htmlwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

I'm a physicist. I like doing experiments. I thought, you know, how terrible would it be for me not eat meat, right? You know, I was used to going home on Friday night, putting on a steak, and a bottle of red wine. That was sort of the easy thing, right? So now, I don't buy an expensive steak. I buy some vegetables that are cheaper, okay? So I have money left over. If I spend that money on an airplane ticket somewhere, then it doesn't really matter. That's the spillover effect.I think, in our part of the world, and if we are to be frontrunners, we have to crack that nut.

My latest Quantum Tech Pod episode with Kurt Stokbro, CEO of quantum company Sparrow Quantum is live!  Sparrow Quantum is a quantum photonics company based in Copenhagen, founded in 2016 by Professor Peter Lodahl. It is widely recognized as a leader in single photon sources, achieving the world's highest light matter coupling efficiency. Kurt is the CEO and is also a major investor in Sparrow Quantum.  Kurt grew up in a small town in Denmark and studied quantum mechanics at the Niels Bohr Institute, attending advanced quantum mechanics lectures given by Aage Bohr, one of Niels Bohr's sons! Sparrow Quantum's flagship product is a deterministic single photon source, a superior alternative to probabilistic quantum emitters. When the photon is excited in the quantum dots, it only has one path to follow. Every time you trigger it, it will emit one photon, resulting in billions of indistinguishable photons per second. To do the same with probabilistic approaches would require millions of emitters. Sparrow Quantum is a component provider and works with various partners. They recently initiated strategic relationships with photonic computing companies to include Sparrow Quantum's solution in their system. Check out my conversation with Kurt! The Quantum Tech Pod podcast, hosted by Christopher Bishop from Inside Quantum Technology, offers a deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of quantum technology. Christopher, an industry expert, engages with leading figures in the field, discussing the latest developments, breakthroughs, and challenges in quantum computing, communication, sensing, and cryptography. The podcast is an informative platform for experts and enthusiasts, providing insights into how quantum technology shapes the future and its implications across various industries. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just curious about quantum technology, Quantum Tech Pod delivers engaging conversations illuminating this cutting-edge field.

fWotD Episode 2427: Niels Bohr Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Wednesday, 27 December 2023 is Niels Bohr.Niels Henrik David Bohr (Danish: [ˈne̝ls ˈpoɐ̯ˀ]; 7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid. He conceived the principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analysed in terms of contradictory properties, like behaving as a wave or a stream of particles. The notion of complementarity dominated Bohr's thinking in both science and philosophy.Bohr founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, now known as the Niels Bohr Institute, which opened in 1920. Bohr mentored and collaborated with physicists including Hans Kramers, Oskar Klein, George de Hevesy, and Werner Heisenberg. He predicted the properties of a new zirconium-like element, which was named hafnium, after the Latin name for Copenhagen, where it was discovered. Later, the element bohrium was named after him.During the 1930s, Bohr helped refugees from Nazism. After Denmark was occupied by the Germans, he had a famous meeting with Heisenberg, who had become the head of the German nuclear weapon project. In September 1943 word reached Bohr that he was about to be arrested by the Germans, so he fled to Sweden. From there, he was flown to Britain, where he joined the British Tube Alloys nuclear weapons project, and was part of the British mission to the Manhattan Project. After the war, Bohr called for international cooperation on nuclear energy. He was involved with the establishment of CERN and the Research Establishment Risø of the Danish Atomic Energy Commission and became the first chairman of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1957.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:18 UTC on Wednesday, 27 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Niels Bohr on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Gregory Neural.

Dr. Daniel Coumbe Discusses Japan Airlines Flight 1628: A Deep Physics Examination In a riveting new episode of the ”Unexplained Aerial Phenomena” podcast, Dr. Daniel Coumbe delves deep into the infamous case of Japan Airlines Flight 1628 and its mysterious UFO encounter. This incident, which has been a focal point of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) discussions for years, witnessed a commercial aircraft being tailed by unidentified objects over the skies of Alaska. Dr. Coume, a renowned physicist, brings a unique perspective to the table. Rather than resorting to speculation, he methodically breaks down the event from a physics standpoint. He dives into the flight's data logs, radar readings, and pilot testimonies to present a comprehensive analysis that seeks to answer the burning question: What exactly did the crew of Japan Airlines 1628 see that day? Throughout the podcast, Dr. Coumbe touches upon the broader implications of such sightings on our understanding of aviation, physics, and even the potential existence of advanced civilizations. Listeners will be captivated by Dr. Coumbe's methodical approach, ensuring that even those skeptical about UFOs and UAPs will find the discussion both enlightening and intellectually stimulating. Join us for this compelling exploration of the unknown, where deep physics meets the enigmatic world of UFOs and UAPs, only on the ”Unexplained Aerial Phenomena” podcast. Biography Daniel Coumbe obtained his PhD in Theoretical Particle Physics from The University of Glasgow in the UK. He has held research positions in the USA, Poland, and at the prestigious Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark. Daniel has published 14 peer-reviewed research papers on theoretical physics, including articles in world-leading journals such as Physical Review Letters and Classical and Quantum Gravity. Dr. Coumbe is the author of a graduate-level textbook on quantum gravity, Magnifying Spacetime: How Physics Changes with Scale. He has taught college-level courses in physics and mathematics and has given numerous presentations at international physics conferences.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current (AMOC) is part of a conveyor belt of currents that circulate water around the world, regulating weather and sea level. Professor Peter Ditlevsen from Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute is co-author of a study, published this week in Nature Communications which predicts AMOC may dramatically slow down and then turn off, as soon as 2025 and likely by the end of the century. The collapse of this system will have enormous implications, including more extreme winters and sea level rises affecting parts of Europe and the US, and a shifting of the monsoon in the tropics.

Un nombre y un color pueden cambiar el futuro del sector energético y del planeta: el hidrógeno verde. Este compuesto, considerado “la energía del futuro”, es el objeto de estudio de la científica María Retuerto, que investiga para mejorar su eficiencia. "La clave del hidrógeno verde es que va a descarbonizar y que introduce las energías renovables en muchos sectores difíciles de electrificar”, asegura Retuerto en 'Aprendemos juntos 2030' de BBVA. Licenciada en Ciencias Químicas por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, María Retuerto ha trabajado en diversos centros de investigación internacionales como la Universidad de Rutgers, en Estados Unidos y el Niels Bohr Institute, en Dinamarca. Actualmente es Científica titular en el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC, en el departamento de Energía y Química Sostenible del Instituto de Catálisis y Petroleoquímica. Sus estudios sobre el hidrógeno verde le han valido el prestigioso premio Mujeres en Ciencia de la UNESCO, que se otorga a las mujeres que han hecho importantes contribuciones al progreso científico. Retuerto sigue trabajando desde su ámbito para combatir el cambio climático, pero sostiene: "La sociedad tiene que consumir de una manera mucho más responsable y mucho más sostenible".

In today's episode we continue our investigative series into the actual science behind the Earth's ever changing climate, continue to provide clear evidence to counter the bogus mainstream narrative, and the discover the influence that our galactic interstellar neighbourhood has on the Earth. Joining us for the episode is Dr. Henrik Svensmark, a PhD physicist and a senior researcher in the Astrophysics and Atmospheric Physics Division of the National Space Institute (DTU Space) in Lyngby, Denmark. In 1987, he obtained a PhD from the Technical University of Denmark and has held postdoctoral positions in physics at three other organizations: the University of California, Berkeley, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the Niels Bohr Institute. Henrik Svensmark presently leads the Sun–Climate Research group at DTU Space. Dr. Svensmark and a colleague popularised a novel theory that linked galactic cosmic rays and global climate change mediated primarily by variations in the intensity of these particles, which has been termed cosmoclimatology.

How old is the Universe? How was it born? How will it end? Why are we here? What is a black hole and what do they do? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Vítor Cardoso in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. A renowned astrophysicist, Vítor Cardoso is Chair of the Physics Department at Instituto Superior Técnico, and Villum Investigator and DNRF Chair at the Niels Bohr Institute. He received his PhD in Physics in 2003 at Instituto Superior Técnico and did post-doctoral research in Saint Louis, Missouri and Oxford, Mississippi in the United States. His research interests focus on gravitational waves and black holes and the physics of space, and he is a pioneer in black hole spectroscopy. He is the author of a book and more than 200 articles published in international journals. His research has been distinguished three times by the European Research Council. In 2015, he was awarded the Order of Santiago D'Espada by the Portuguese President, for his contributions to science. In this episode, Vítor Cardoso explains what astrophysics is and what his work in this field entails. Namely, describes how this kind of research necessitates a lot of international cooperation, and also how it forces a person to “struggle with their own limitations as a scientist”. He also addresses the importance of the images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope and how much we learned about Space in the last few decades. He discusses why Space research and exploration matters, and the possibility of having human beings living in other planets. Finally, Vítor Cardoso looks at the likelihood of extraterrestrial life, in a conversation well worth listening to.

Big talk on the pod today. My guest is Martin Rosvall. A network science legend. The creator of the InfoMap community detection algorithm (1).Martin's group (2) studies information flows through social and biological systems to understand their inner workings. By simplifying myriad network interactions into maps of significant information flows, they aim to address research questions about how diseases spread, plants respond to stress, and life distributes itself on Earth.In today's talk we talk about how a love for theory and not the subject matter of classical physics made Martin study information theory early on. We talk about serendipitously going to the Niels Bohr Institute and finding his postdoc advisor Carl Bergstrom on google. And in a big reveal - a LazyPod exclusive - we tell the story of how a grumpy reviewer and a TV star resulted in the name for the map equation. We wrap up talking about Martin's yearly habit of taking young scientists into the Swedish wilderness.# Timestamps[0:00:00] Sune's Intro[0:01:44] Origin story and more[0:38:12] The Saga of the Map Equation# References(1) https://www.mapequation.org(2) https://www.martinrosvall.com and https://icelab.se# CreditsThe podcast has theme music by Waylon Thornton (and a little bit by me as well).

When someone begins to study the evolution of the universe and the laws of physics, one easily comes to wonder how strange it is that humans and life exist, and we are able to observe the universe. If the laws and constants of nature were just a little bit different, the occurrence of life is unthinkable. However, we can state that we are here, and this raises a number of other issues, such as: Has the universe always been able to sustain life? Will the universe continue to sustain the existence of life in the future ? Are we just one of many universes that exist in parallel? Science Journalist Jens Degett from Science Stories talks to Professor Niels Obers, Director of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) and professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, to try and get to the bottom of the matter. This podcast is a continuation of their conversation in a former story "Big Bang challenged by Conformal Cyclic Cosmology".

We are used to think about the universe as a structure which started with a Big Bang and then expanded. Sir Roger Penrose, who received the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, has developed an alternative theory of the universe based on Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity which is called "Conformal Cyclic Cosmology". In this new model we don’t have one single Big Bang, but an iteration of infinite cycles (or aeons) of expansion and cooling, each beginning with a “big bang” and ending in a “big crunch”. Science Journalist Jens Degett interviews Professor Niels Obers from the Niels Bohr Institute on Roger Penrose’s theory and how much evidence is needed in order to change the general view of a central paradigm which is written in our school textbooks. What if Penrose is right? What consequences or perspectives will it have for us?

UK prime minister Boris Johnson has announced new measures to tackle coronavirus. With new rules compelling the closure of bars and restaurants at 10pm, we ask Kate Nicholls, chief executive of the industry body UK Hospitality how the sector will cope. And Kim Sneppen, professor of biocomplexity at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen tells us how Denmark is handling a recent rise in coronavirus infections. Also in the programme, we're focusing this week on issues affecting voters in key battleground states ahead of November's US presidential election. Today, the BBC's Fergus Nicoll has been hearing how economic arguments could play on voters' minds in Pennsylvania. Plus, following India's ban of the popular Chinese social media app TikTok earlier this year, homegrown Indian competitors are filling the void. Chingari has managed to attract 30 million users to its platform in just three months, and we hear more from its founder, Sumit Ghosh. (Picture: A waitress takes an order in London.

Jacob Bourjaily is a theoretical physicist at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Jacob completed his PhD in 2011 at Princeton Unviersity after which he spent three years at Harvard University as a Junior Fellow. The primary focus of Jacob's research is quantum field theory: connecting theory to experiment. Here, he explains why predictions made using quantum theory are often surprisingly simple in form.

What is quantum technology? And how will it be a game changer for technology and perhaps even help solve big societal challenges like climate change? In this episode, Professor Charlie Marcus from The Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen helps us understand this (admittedly quite complex) technological frontier & its potential global impact.

The 2019 Nobel Prizes for chemistry and physics were awarded this week, and — as is the case most of the time — they went to men. That’s despite steps the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which runs the Nobel program, took just last year to be more inclusive.The academy's secretary-general, Göran K. Hansson, sent a letter to scientists asking them to take geography and gender into consideration in their nominations and asked more women to suggest candidates.But efforts to diversify Nobel winners are slow going, and there’s a long history to overcome: Of the more than 600 Nobel Prizes that have been given out in the sciences, just 20 have gone to women. Some other prize categories, such as peace and literature, are more diverse, but they are considered more “acceptable” for women. (The 20 awards include prizes in physiology or medicine, chemistry and physics.)But those prizes have also had their challenges. The Nobels haven’t been spared from modern movements like #MeToo; last year, because of a complicated sexual harassment scandal, the Royal Swedish Academy didn’t award a prize for literature — so there are two awards in that category this year.Related: Nobel Literature prize award postponed amid turmoil over sex scandalHansson told the journal Nature that he couldn’t do more to increase diversity because of a covenant laid down by the original funder of the prizes, Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite. Nobel explicitly said nationality shouldn’t be considered in awarding winners.“It’s important to remember that the Nobel Prize is awarded for discoveries and inventions, and those who receive it have made major contributions to humankind, and that’s why they get the prize.”Göran K. Hansson, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, secretary-general “It’s important to remember that the Nobel Prize is awarded for discoveries and inventions,” Hansson said at the 2018 press conference to announce the Nobel Prize winner for physics, “and those who receive it have made major contributions to humankind, and that’s why they get the prize.”At that press conference, Canadian Donna Strickland was named winner for her work on lasers. She became the first woman to receive a Nobel for physics in 55 years. She took questions from reporters, and seemed surprised when one told her she was only the third woman ever to earn a Nobel for physics. (It went to French physicist Marie Curie in 1903, who was also awarded the Nobel in chemistry in 1911, and German-born American physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer received the physics Nobel in 1963.)The scene was not quite the same this year when the Nobel committee announced its prize for chemistry to three men in an Oct. 9 press conference.Related: Physics Nobel for laser pioneers includes first woman in 55 years“I thought there might have been more,” Strickland said. “Obviously, we need to celebrate women physicists because we’re out there. And hopefully, in time, it’ll start to move forward at a faster rate, maybe. I don’t know what to say. I’m honored to be one of those women.”(Strickland was promoted to full professor within weeks of the announcement of her Nobel win.)Hansson, joining in, said, “We expect more to come.”There’s no way to know who’s been nominated for a Nobel; those names are kept confidential for 50 years. So, at that 2018 press conference, a reporter asked just for the percentage: How many women were among the total number of nominees? Hansson said he didn’t have that in front of him.“It’s a small percentage that’s for sure,” Hansson said. “And that’s why we’re taking measures to encourage more nominations. Because we don’t want to miss anyone.”His academy colleague, physics professor Olga Botner, added that the percentage is small because a few decades ago, there were many fewer women in science.“So, the number has been increasing steadily over the years, but the number of nominations rather reflect the percentages as they were, say, two or three decades back in time,” she said.“Thank you,” Hansson responded. “Good point.”Related: Fighting the STEM gender gap with stories of trailblazing female scientistsBut is it? Liselotte Jauffred investigated.“I think it was a dinner table discussion,” said Jauffred, an associate physics professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. “We were thinking, ‘Is it just by random that they only chose men?’”So, she and her colleagues used historical data and modeling to find out if the smaller number of women in scientific fields fully accounts for the low number of female Nobel laureates. They published a paper about it last October. The results, Jauffred says, are clear — even accounting for fewer women in the sciences throughout history, women are underrepresented among Nobel Prize winners.“With 95% probability, there is a bias against women,” she said.And there are plenty of examples of women who seem to have deserved the Nobel Prize.Claudia Rankins, co-founder of the Society of STEM Women of Color, points to Lise Meitner, the Austrian physicist who Rankins argues discovered nuclear fission. Meitner fled Nazi persecution, but refused to work on the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. Her teammate, Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize for their work in 1944.Related: Lise Meitner — the forgotten woman of nuclear physics who deserved a Nobel Prize“And that's just one example,” said Rankins, who is also a program officer at the National Science Foundation, but is speaking here only of her personal views. “I'm sure you can find throughout history, and even now, many other examples where men and women worked side by side, and the man gets the prize.”The Swedish Academy can’t give Nobels to those who might have been overlooked; its own rules don’t allow posthumous awards.Women and people of color are still underrepresented in many scientific fields. And they don’t rise as fast: Rankins points out that when Strickland won the physics Nobel last year, she was still an associate professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, despite her accomplishments. Recent studies suggest that women have been winning more science awards, but those awards often pay less, are lower status, and have to do with teaching, not research.Rankins said being a woman or minority in a largely white, male field can still be a daily hardship.“It takes a toll on you on your health and well-being,” she said. “And then for somebody to say, ‘Hmm, there are only white men scientifically advanced enough to be worthy of the Nobel Prize,’ just sort of adds insult to injury.”

Her teammate, Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize for their work in 1944.Related: Lise Meitner — the forgotten woman of nuclear physics who deserved a Nobel Prize“And that's just one example,” said Rankins, who is also a program officer at the National Science Foundation, but is speaking here only of her personal views. “I'm sure you can find throughout history, and even now, many other examples where men and women worked side by side, and the man gets the prize.”The Swedish Academy can't give Nobels to those who might have been overlooked; its own rules don't allow posthumous awards.Women and people of color are still underrepresented in many scientific fields. And they don't rise as fast: Rankins points out that when Strickland won the physics Nobel last year, she was still an associate professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, despite her accomplishments. Recent studies suggest that women have been winning more science awards, but those awards often pay less, are lower status, and have to do with teaching, not research.Rankins said being a woman or minority in a largely white, male field can still be a daily hardship.“It takes a toll on you on your health and well-being,” she said. “And then for somebody to say, ‘Hmm, there are only white men scientifically advanced enough to be worthy of the Nobel Prize,' just sort of adds insult to injury.” 

After the historic announcement in February 2016 hailing the discovery of gravitational waves, it didn't take long for skeptics to emerge. The detection of these feeble undulations in the fabric of space and time by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) was said to have opened a new ear on the cosmos. But the following year, a group of physicists at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen published a paper casting doubt on LIGO's analysis.

Dr. Daniel Whiteson is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine. He is also co-author of the book We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe. As a particle physicist, Daniel is working to discover how the universe began and what things are made of at their most fundamental levels. When not in the lab, Daniel engages in experimental baking to create a wide variety of desserts. He’s currently perfecting his recipe for chocolate babka, a type of sweet bread. Regardless of how his kitchen experiments turn out, it’s fun to share them with his wife and two kids. Daniel received his B.S. in Physics and Computer Science from Rice University, he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and he went on to earn his PhD in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley. He conducted postdoctoral research afterwards at the University of Pennsylvania before joining the faculty at UC, Irvine. Daniel has received various awards and honors in his career, including an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship, an Outstanding Junior Investigator award from the U.S. Department of Energy, the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research from UC, Irvine, and a Webby Award in Experimental and Innovation sites for developing a smartphone app called Cosmic Rays Found in Smartphones which uses a cell phone’s camera to detect ultra high-energy cosmic rays. Daniel has also been named a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Daniel joined us for an interview to talk more about his life and science.

Dr. Priyamvada Natarajan is a cosmologist and theoretical astrophysicist from Yale University, specializing in dark matter, dark energy, and black holes. She also holds the Sophie and Tycho Brahe Professorship of the Dark Cosmology Centre, Niels Bohr Institute, at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. She is passionate about sharing science with the general public and in her new book she provides a tour of the “greatest hits” of cosmological discoveries—the ideas that reshaped our universe over the past century. The cosmos, once understood as a stagnant place, filled with the ordinary, is now a universe that is expanding at an accelerating pace, propelled by dark energy and structured by dark matter. Priyamvada Natarajan is at the forefront of this research—an astrophysicist who literally creates maps of invisible matter in the universe. In the book, she not only explains for a wide audience the science behind these essential ideas but also provides an understanding of how radical scientific theories gain acceptance. The formation and growth of black holes, dark matter halos, the accelerating expansion of the universe, the echo of the big bang, the discovery of exoplanets, and the possibility of other universes—these are some of the puzzling cosmological topics of the early twenty-first century. Natarajan discusses why the acceptance of new ideas about the universe and our place in it has never been linear and always contested even within the scientific community. And she affirms that, shifting and incomplete as science always must be, it offers the best path we have toward making sense of our wondrous, mysterious universe.

No one thinks longer, or bigger, than astrophysicists. “This is the golden age of cosmology,” says Priya Natarajan, one of the world’s leading astrophysicists, because data keeps pouring in to vet even the most radical theories. And the dominant mysteries are profound. She observes that “The vast majority of stuff in the universe—both dark matter and dark energy, which dominate the content and fate of the universe—is unknown.“ The universe’s greatest exotica are the focus of her research—dark matter, dark energy, and black holes. She is an expert, for example, in the complex behavior and gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters, where arrays of 1,000 galaxies are 95% dark matter. Her theory of the “direct” formation of supermassive black holes may explain the profound mystery of quasars. Priyamvada Natarajan is a professor in the Departments of Astronomy and Physics at Yale University and at the Dark Cosmology Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. She is an active proponent for the public understanding and study of science.

The Ice and Climate research team at Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen has led the NordGRIP project, which drilled a column of ice core all the way from the top of the inland ice through more than 3 kilometers of ice – down to the bottom. The ice contains information about past climates, something that has gained an entirely new significance – in the determination of the geological ages of the Earth. For the ice can answer a geological question that nobody else has been able to answer before – that is to establish the precise time that the last glacial period ended and the warmer present-day climate began.

The physics students at the Niels Bohr Institute are now being taught in a whole new way, which has given fantastically good results. The traditional form of teaching with lectures in large auditoriums is being supplemented with physics experiments, where the students themselves work with the experiments. This has resulted in a very high pass rate. Produced by: The Niels Bohr Institute / ScienceXplorer.org Duration: 11 minutes 59 seconds Language: English Format: 720p HD
