Jul 12, 2013 · In July of 1913, Danish physicist Niels Bohr published the first of a series of three papers introducing this model of the atom, which became known simply as the Bohr atom. Bohr, one of the pioneers of quantum theory, had taken the atomic model presented a few years earlier by physicist Ernest Rutherford and given it a quantum twist.
Aug 29, 2022 · Partners in physics during the World War II, father and son Niels and Aage Bohr helped create the first atomic bombs. Arriving in Los Alamos in late 1943, Aage was just 21 years old. He had been studying physics to follow in the footsteps of his famous father, who had won a Nobel Prize in 1922.
Niels Bohr won a Nobel Prize for the idea that an atom is a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. He also contributed to quantum theory.
In 1913, Niels Bohr created the groundbreaking atomic model that formed the basis of our understanding of how the world is built, and later of quantum mechanics, which has revolutionized technological development.
Oct 7, 2012 · Bohr became one of Denmark's most famous and acclaimed people and a central figure in 20th century physics. The discovery of the electron and radioactivity in the late 19th century led to different models being proposed for the atom’s structure.
