Their findings show that interpersonal violence—violence not meted out as punishment by authorities—was much more common in Norway.

Surprisingly, the pursuit of locating the descendants of these settlers greatly influenced European and American perceptions of Greenland for many generations.

In a sane world, the West would regain its confidence and mojo. In the Danish city of Sønderborg, which skirts the border of Denmark and Germany, a seventeen-year-old girl was walking near the local migrant center when she was grabbed and thrown to the ground by a man who then attempted to undress her. Fortunately, the young girl was able to fend him off by pepper-spraying him. Her attacker ran off and remains at large. But the important thing was that she avoided being raped, right? Hallelujah! Well, maybe not in Denmark. Or Germany. Police spokesman Knud Kirsten noted that,...

A team of researchers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has announced the creation of a so-called super battery made from rocks, a technology that may one day replace Lithium Ion batteries used in electric vehicle production. The team claims their discovery would lead to cleaner, safer, and longer-lasting batteries that don’t rely on rare metals or end up as toxic waste. According to the DTU team behind the battery’s creation, the key to their entry into energy storage lies in the simplicity of the materials involved. More specifically, their super battery is based on potassium and sodium silicates,...

Denmark is set to implement a law that limits the display of foreign flags within its borders. According to Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard, the Danish flag (known as the Dannebrog) holds significant national importance, and as such, the flags of other countries cannot be freely flown.

Embassies will also be allowed to display their respective national emblems. The law is expected to take effect on January 1, following a parliamentary vote.
