After seven years of intense research, a research group from Aarhus University has succeeded - through an interdisciplinary collaboration - in understanding why a very extended structure is important for an essential protein from the human immune system. The new results offer new opportunities for adjusting the activity of the immune system both…

In a recently published scientific article, a research group led by the Stellar Astrophysics Centre at Aarhus University describes a very special exoplanet system. Two exoplanets run "backwards" around their star, and scientists' studies suggest that they originally orbited the other, more common way around.

As quantum technology makes its inroad, we need to be able to use new materials to capture and tame the promising new opportunities offered by the technology. This means we must be able to examine the interior of exotic quantum materials, and so far this has proved rather difficult. A research team with Danish participation has now found a method.

Ten years ago, researchers at Aarhus University, Denmark, reported the discovery of centimeter-long cable bacteria, that live by conducting an electric current from one end to the other. Now the researchers document that a few cells operate with extremely high oxygen consumption while the rest of the cells process food and grow without oxygen. An…

A scientific article published in Nature in 2016 has been the subject of criticism from peers for a number of years, and it has given rise to an important case for the university's Research Practice Committee. The matter has been mentioned several times in the newspaper Berlingske and most recently in other media. The media coverage could give the…
