    • The Unique Hoyle State of the Carbon Atom 

      Thorvaldsen, Steinar (Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2014)
      The famous astronomer Fred Hoyle (1915-2001) started his research career as an atheist. Hoyle’s most important contribution to astrophysics is the theory of nucleosynthesis, i.e. the idea that chemical elements such as carbon can form in stars on the basis of hydrogen and helium. Essentially here was his prediction that the carbon core has a state with a specific energy which is precisely adapted ...

      Breivik, Jens (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-30)
      Online discussions are commonly used as learning activities in higher education. One of the rationales behind their use is to enhance students’ competence in critical thinking and rational argumentation. In the research field, several approaches to critical thinking and rational argumentation are suggested, and several frameworks for analyzing online educational discussions are employed. In this ...
    • Using statistical methods to model the fine-tuning of molecular machines and systems 

      Thorvaldsen, Steinar; Hössjer, Ola (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-06-04)
      Fine-tuning has received much attention in physics, and it states that the fundamental constants of physics are finely tuned to precise values for a rich chemistry and life permittance. It has not yet been applied in a broad manner to molecular biology. However, in this paper we argue that biological systems present fine-tuning at different levels, e.g. functional proteins, complex biochemical ...
