Niels Henrik David Bohr ( Danish: [ˈne̝ls ˈpoɐ̯ˀ]; 7 October 1885 – 18 November 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.
Niels Bohr, Danish physicist who is generally regarded as one of the foremost physicists of the 20th century. He was the first to apply the quantum concept to the problem of atomic and molecular structure. For that work he received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
Apr 2, 2014 · Niels Bohr was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and humanitarian whose revolutionary theories on atomic structures helped shape research worldwide.
Niels Bohr was President of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences, of the Danish Cancer Committee, and Chairman of the Danish Atomic Energy Commission.
Oct 7, 2012 · The discovery of the electron and radioactivity in the late 19th century led to different models being proposed for the atom’s structure. In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom, based on quantum theory that some physical quantities only take discrete values.

3 days ago · Bohr model, description of the structure of atoms proposed in 1913 by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr. The Bohr model of the atom, a radical departure from earlier, classical descriptions, was the first that incorporated quantum theory and was the predecessor of wholly quantum-mechanical models.
Niels Bohr - Atomic Theory, Quantum Mechanics, Nobel Prize: After the discovery of fission, Bohr was acutely aware of the theoretical possibility of making an atomic bomb.
Niels Bohr (1885–1962), the first Compton lecturer, was a Danish physicist who made critical contributions to the understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. He was a professor at the University of Copenhagen and founded and directed the Institute of Theoretical Physics in 1921.
Niels Bohr. In 1913, Niels Bohr created the groundbreaking atomic model that formed the basis of our understanding of how the world is built, and later of quantum mechanics, which has revolutionized technological development. He received Denmark's first Nobel Prize in 1922, the year before in 2021 the Department of Theoretical Physics was ...
