Niels Bohr won the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics for investigating the structure of atoms and the radiation emanating from them. He argued that electrons move in defined orbits around an atom's nucleus, ...

In 1912 Bohr married Margrethe Nørlund. They had six sons, one of whom, Aage, followed his father into physics -- and into the ranks of Nobel Prize-winners. Bohr returned to Denmark as a ...

Aage, one of Bohr’s sons, who also won a Nobel Prize, shared a thought about his father’s ways: “Our father was very good at teaching us how to make mistakes.” Len Barron lives in Boulder.

Nobel prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr described these electrons in the atom as existing in a shell structure. The electrons circulate around the nucleus in particular energy levels, or orbits.

6. Niels Bohr Danish physicist Niels Bohr won the Nobel Prize in 1922 at the age of 37 for his work on atomic structure. In the Bohr model, the atom consisted of a positively-charged nucleus ...

His theory won Bohr the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. “The discoveries of the atomic nucleus, and subsequently the quantum atom and the concepts of isotopes and atomic number, between 1911 and 1913, ...

All recent Nobel prize-winners —Guillaume, Einstein, Bohr, Millikan— have been men who, if not hitherto internationally known, have been favorably regarded among their own scientific compatriots.
