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 ...

In 2013, physicists used a "quantum microscope" to peer inside a hydrogen atom. Credit: A. S. Stodolna et al., 2013 ...

As a result of quantum mechanics, ... Olszewski, Stanisław, The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom Revisited, Reviews in Theoretical Science, Volume 4, Number 4, ...

The first direct observation of the orbital structure of an excited hydrogen atom has been made by an international team of researchers. The observation was made using a newly developed “quantum ...

Heisenberg’s paper marked the birth of modern quantum mechanics. ... In Bohr’s model of the hydrogen atom, one electron, carrying a negative electrical charge, ...

Today, the hydrogen atom is one of the most stringent testing grounds for the rules of quantum physics, giving us a measurement of the fine structure constant — α — to better than 1-part-in ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years. ... Measurement of hydrogen atom wave ...

Some people claim that quantum physics is too arcane and remote to have practical applications, but modern life would be impossible without our understanding of the quantum nature of light and matter.
