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 ...

The Bohr Model of Hydrogen revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure and behavior. In this video, we simplify the calculations of force and velocity within the hydrogen atom using Bohr’s ...

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 ...

Niels Bohr's Nobel Lecture on December 11, 1922, titled The Structure of the Atom, is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. This ...

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!
