Astronauts find it difficult to maintain a natural circadian rhythm and generally complain a lot about their sleep. Aarhus University's Center for Ear-EEG has developed a technology that can read the brain's electrical activity and map our sleep patterns. The technology, along with astronaut Andreas Mogensen, will travel to the International Space Station ISS to examine the differences between human sleep patterns on earth and in space.

On Monday 13 June, the Novo Nordisk Foundation CO2 Research Center - CORC - was officially inaugurated at Aarhus University. Scientist, supporters, and collaborators of CORC came together to celebrate this special moment, and to raise their glasses to this unique, mission-driven frontrunner in lowering CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

Danish researchers are developing new electrical solutions for the transport sector. The aim is to reduce the climate footprint significantly, and the EU is investing DKK 45 million in the project.

Farshad Moradi, a new professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Aarhus University, has been inspired by the brain in his work to develop electronic devices that can communicate with the brain on the brain’s own terms, and ideally without a battery.

The Danish National Research Foundation, the Carlsberg Foundation, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation and the VILLUM Foundation will, together with top researcher Klaus Butterbach-Bahl, establish a pioneering research center called the Pioneer Center for Landscape Research in Sustainable Agricultural Futures (Land-CRAFT)
