Bohr entered the story in 1912 when, working in the laboratory of Ernest Rutherford in Manchester, he devised a quantum theory of the atom. In Bohr’s picture, the electrons encircling the atomic ...

Bohr was the first physicist to look to the then-emerging quantum theory to try to explain the behavior of the particles inside the simplest of all atoms; the atom of hydrogen.

This challenge has been around for as long the subject itself, with both Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein debating the implications of various thought experiments as far back as 1927. For Bohr, the ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

The theory was developed by Neils Bohr's great-grandson. The use of a special type of atom could make even the most advanced atomic clocks more precise, scientists believe. If confirmed, this ...

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

Niels Bohr 1885 - 1962. ... Among other things, he put forth the theory of the nucleus as a liquid drop, and the idea of "complementarity" -- that things may have a dual nature ...
