Niels Henrik David Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on October 7, 1885, the second of three children born to Christian and Ellen Adler Bohr. Bohr's mother was a member of a wealthy Jewish banking family, and his father was a talented professor of...

Bohr was born in Copenhagen on October 7, 1885. He was the son of Christian Bohr, a professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen. Niels entered the university in 1903 and studied there until he received his doctorate in 1911. He is reputed...

Niels Bohr received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1922 for the quantum mechanical model of the atom that he had developed a decade earlier, the most significant step forward in scientific understanding of atomic structure since English physicist John...

1885-1962 Danish Physicist Niels Bohr was the first to apply quantum theory in a consistent model to explain the arrangement of electrons in the atom. Bohr's model accounted for the chemical properties of the elements and for the main features...

Viewpoint: Yes, Bohr's interpretation of the world in light of quantum mechanics was correct, and new applications of his interpretation are being determined with the passage of time. Viewpoint: No, while the physics community came to accept the...

Bohr, Niels(1885–1962) Quantum physics is often credited with far-reaching metaphysical and epistemological implications, including the denial of causality and determinism and the existence of strict limits on what can be known about natural...

Niels Henrik David Bohr [nels ˈb̥oɐ̯ˀ] (October 7, 1885 – November 18, 1962) was a Danish physicist who made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics...

WILLIAM SWEET'S ARTICLE, "THE BOHR Letters: No More Uncertainty" (May/June 2002 Bulletin), unfortunately contains two mistakes: First, it wasn't Peter Jensen who visited Bohr in Copenhagen during the war, but Johannes Jensen. Peter Jensen was an assistant to Walther Bothe and worked...

The Bohr-Einstein extended debate about the interpretation of atomic and subatomic physics was a pivotal event whose outcome has shifted the foundations of Western culture toward Eastern and New Age religions. When Albert Einstein said "God does not play dice" and Niels...

Revolutionary ideas require great concentration to form and particular care to spread.Those skills helped physics pioneer Niels Bohr redefine how we look at the world.His Nobel Prize-winning theories helped people understand quantum mechanics and atomic structure. Those concepts leapt from his unbreakable concentration. When pondering...

Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson, Simon & Schuster, 675 pages, $32. In early 1931, Albert Einstein paid a visit to California that confirmed his status as a global celebrity. After being serenaded by 500 local girls upon his arrival in...
