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, ...

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 ...

A nearly 400 year-old formula for pi has been spotted in a quantum-mechanics formula for the energy states of the hydrogen atom, according to researchers in the US. Derived by English mathematician ...

Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen atom, physicists have created giant, millimeter-sized atoms that resemble it more closely than any ...

NMAH copy purchased with funds from the S. Dillon Ripley Endowment. This comprehensive scientific history presents for the first time a detailed and comprehensive study of the Bohr atom in all its ...

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 ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

What Is Real?: The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics Adam Becker Basic: 2018. All hell broke loose in physics some 90 years ago. Quantum theory emerged — partly in heated clashes ...

I love this story. It is a story of how ideas changed about the nature of the atom. These are the notes (and diagrams) I use when I teach the atomic nature of matter to non-science majors. The best ...

HOUSTON -- June 30, 2008 -- Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen atom, a Rice University-led team of physicists has created giant, ...
