Danish physicist Niels Henrik David Bohr made foundational contributions to understanding the atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.

ENGLISH readers will welcome this authoritative account by Prof. Bohr of the application of his theory to atomic structure. The essay has been translated from the Zeitschrift fur Physik by L. F ...

Some atomic nuclei are not shaped like rugby balls, as a longstanding theory suggests, but are instead somewhat flattened, like almonds, according to a new study by Japanese scientists.

Niels Bohr said, 'Anyone who is not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.' Naomi Alderman investigates the remarkable insights of a scientific genius.
