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'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'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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why does hydrogen require a specific amount of energy to remove its electron? ⚛️ This video explains the Bohr model by deriving the ionization energy of hydrogen, connecting classical mechanics, ...

Danish physicist and Nobel Laureate Niels Henrik David Bohr's atomic model, popularly called the Bohr's Atomic Model, is search engine major Google's new doodle. The doodle marks Bohr's 127th birth ...

Experience teaches humility. True expertise is built on mistakes and lessons learned. Niels Bohr, a renowned physicist, believed experts make all possible errors in a narrow field. This approach fuels ...

In Christopher Nolan's hit biopic "Oppenheimer," real-life Danish physicist Niels Bohr is more than just a major character. As depicted by Shakespearean actor Kenneth Branagh, he is a living legend, ...
