When the average non-scientist thinks of an atom, chances are they envision some popularized version of the classic, much-maligned Bohr model of the atom. That's the one where electrons move about ...

Father of the atom. Bohr’s role in that enterprise began in 1913 with a series of three papers that became the foundation for the future of atomic science.

The Bohr model is a neat but quite imperfect depiction of the inner workings of an atom before things got too muddled up by quantum principles. Skip to main content Open menu Close menu ...

Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom—first published 100 years ago and commemorated in a special issue of Nature—is simple, elegant, revolutionary, and wrong. Well, "wrong" isn't exactly ...

Niels Bohr 1885 - 1962. Niels Bohr was born and educated in Copenhagen, Denmark. He lived, worked, and died there, too. ... Bohr began to work on the problem of the atom's structure.

Bohr’s Model of an Atom: Students get to know the Bohr’s Model of an Atom. Find out what are its limitations and the postulates it is based on.

Physicists Create Millimeter-sized 'Bohr Atom' Date: July 1, 2008 Source: Rice University Summary: Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen ...

It is a story of how ideas changed about the nature of the atom. These are the notes (and diagrams) I use when I teach the atomic nature of matter to non-science majors. The best thing about this ...

Bohr had no theoretical justification for this ad hoc assumption, but he showed that, by accepting it, he could predict (more or less) the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. For this work Bohr was awarded ...

In history books, Bohr’s chief contribution to physics is usually said to be “the Bohr atom” — his application in 1912–3 of the still-recent quantum hypothesis to overcome instabilities in ...

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 ...

On 2 April, 1913, Niels Bohr wrote to his wife Margrethe: “My dearest little one. Rutherford should only know that it is you who have to do it all.” Bohr had just had a discussion with Ernest ...
