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.

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 ...

Part of our International Year of Quantum Science and Technology coverage. Philip Ball peers into the quantum past, and uncovers a little-known paper published by Niels Bohr, Hendrik Kramers and John ...

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 ...

Danish physicist Niels Henrik David Bohr made foundational contributions to understanding the atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.

"The genesis of quantum mechanics in the mid-1920s as the theory that now underlies almost all of physics, was a scientific revolution akin to Einstein's theory of relativity. And Einstein and ...

Analysis suggests that the two pioneers of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr and John von Neumann, may have had more similar views than previously thought regarding the nature of quantum systems, and ...

Nearly a decade before, Niels Bohr's colleague Albert Einstein had co-authored a paper contending that the emerging theory of quantum mechanics was incomplete. Einstein and Bohr had been tossing ...

As one of the original architects of quantum theory, perhaps our most successful scientific idea, you would think that Niels Bohr would have been interested in the nature of reality.

A connection between quantum theory and information theory Date: December 6, 2024 ... This is known as the complementarity principle and was developed by Niels Bohr in the mid 1920s.
