Our understanding of the quantum world began with Niels Bohr's discovery of the quantum atom in 1913. Bohr would be astounded by where his theory has since led, says Professor David Jamieson. Bohr's ...

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 ...

One hundred years ago, Niels Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, where electrons go around a nucleus at the centre like planets in the Solar System. The model and its implications brought a lot ...

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 ...

The Danish physicist and Nobel laureate Aage Niels Bohr died on 8 September at the age of 87. The son of quantum-physics pioneer Niels Bohr, Aage himself made critical contributions to the structure ...

Picture an atom, and you may imagine spherical electrons orbiting a nucleus packed with particles like neutrons. Only certain orbits - quantum levels - are possible. It's a simplistic model, yet ...
