Neils Bohr

A behind-the-scene look at the life of Niels Bohr.

Niels Bohr (Niels Henrik David Bohr) (1885-1962) was a danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research. Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one...

A behind-the-scene look at the life of Niels Henrik Abel.

Niels Bohr was born in Copenhage and best known for his work in atomic theory. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 and participated in the Manhattan Project.

Niels Bohr - 1/2 Niels Bohr--a father of modern day molecular physics and winner of the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics--was also a hero. He helped German Jewish physicists evade Hitler's grip. Hitler invaded Copenhagen in 1940. Bohr knew the Nazis would pay him a visit. If they found the Nobel medals Max von Laue (1914 Physics) and James Franck (1925 Physics) had mailed him, they'd all die. A Chemist named Georgy de Hevesy dissolved the gold in aqua regia.
