A team of researchers at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has reconstructed one of Albert Einstein’s most ...

Bohr’s Model of an Atom: Danish Physicist Niels Bohr received his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen in 1911. In 1922, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the atom’s ...

The Bohr model, introduced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913, was a key step on the journey to understand atoms. Ancient Greek thinkers already believed that matter was composed of tiny basic ...

Niels Bohr's Nobel Lecture on December 11, 1922, titled The Structure of the Atom, is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. This ...

One hundred years ago, Niels Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, where electrons go around a nucleus at the centre like planets in the Solar System. The model and its implications brought a lot ...

I love this story. 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 ...

Picture an atom, and you may imagine spherical electrons orbiting a nucleus packed with particles like neutrons. Only certain orbits - quantum levels - are possible. It's a simplistic model, yet ...

Bohr’s atomic model was utterly revolutionary when it was presented in 1913 but, although it is still taught in schools, it became obsolete decades ago. However, its creator also developed a much ...

Niels Bohr was one of the foremost scientists of modern physics, best known for his substantial contributions to quantum theory and his Nobel Prize-winning research on the structure of atoms. Born in ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...
