Niels Henrik David Bohr (Danish: [ˈne̝ls ˈpoɐ̯]; 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.

Feb 20, 2025 · 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.

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.

May 2, 2010 · Niels Bohr, a world-renowned Danish physicist, left an indelible mark on the history of theoretical and experimental physics. His contributions to the development of atomic models and his pioneering work in the field of nuclear energy have been fundamental to our understanding of the subatomic world and nuclear technology.

Oct 7, 2012 · Bohr became one of Denmark's most famous and acclaimed people and a central figure in 20th century physics. The discovery of the electron and radioactivity in the late 19th century led to different models being proposed for the atom’s structure.

Niels Bohr completely transformed our view of the atom and of the world. Realizing that classical physics fails catastrophically when things are atom-sized or smaller, he remodeled the atom so electrons occupied 'allowed' orbits around the nucleus while all other orbits were forbidden.

Oct 7, 2011 · Niels Bohr is best known for the investigations of atomic structure and also for work on radiation, which won him the 1922 Nobel Prize for physics. Niels Bohr's father was Christian Bohr and his mother was Ellen Adler.

Niels Bohr was born and educated in Copenhagen, Denmark. He lived, worked, and died there, too. But his mark on science and history was worldwide. His professional work and personal...

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.
