The unifying force of Bob Dylan
When DIAS Chairs Anne-Marie Mai and Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen joined forces to study Bob Dylan’s impact on his fans’ lives, they not only found that “The Bard’s” songs help his fans navigate through life's highs and lows, but their research also underlined the benefits of collaborating across disciplines.

Hvorfor får vi færre børn – og hvad kan vi gøre ved det?
Der fødes alt for få børn – også i de familievenlige nordiske velfærdsstater – i en grad, så det bliver vanskeligt at opretholde vores arbejdsmarked og sociale modeller i Europa. Ny forskning fra SDU-professor Pieter Vanhuysse har et overraskende bud på, hvorfor vi mangler babyer i Europa.

What constitutes life? Today we are surrounded by life-like digital technologies such as virtual assistants, generative computer systems, and adaptive robots. These new digital technologies represent a form of life and coexist closely with us. They raise the question whether we can consider them "alive" and how we, as humans, coexist with these life-forms.

Rocks and oceans lead him back to ancient times
Donald Canfield uses chemistry and biology to study the Earth's past. His work often causes the rewriting of textbooks on the history of the oceans - and thus also the history of life. He is the 2023 recipient of the Villum Kann Rasmussen Annual Award in Science and Technology.
Deep-sea trenches
21.12.2022
Carbon, soot and particles from combustion end up in deep-sea trenches
New research shows that disproportionately large amounts of carbon accumulate at the bottom of deep-sea trenches. The trenches may thus play an important role for deep-sea storage of organic material - and thus for the atmospheric Co2 balance.
