Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Niels Bohr won a Nobel Prize for the idea that an atom is a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. He also contributed to quantum theory.

When a drummer hits a drum, the surface vibrates and creates sound—a signal we recognize as music. But once those vibrations ...

Part of our International Year of Quantum Science and Technology coverage. Philip Ball peers into the quantum past, and uncovers a little-known paper published by Niels Bohr, Hendrik Kramers and John ...

Yet for most of his life, Bohr’s name would hardly have been linked to human rights violations such as the bombings of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the Marshall Islands.When World War II broke out in ...

Niels Bohr was born and educated in Copenhagen, Denmark. He lived, worked, and died there, too. But his mark on science and history was worldwide. His professional work and personal convictions ...

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

The researchers suggest that their tunable quantum sensing device could help detect changes in time, acceleration, and ...

The Bohr model, introduced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913, was a key step on the journey to understand atoms. Ancient Greek thinkers already believed that matter was composed of tiny basic ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin drumhead-like membrane that lets sound signals, or phonons, travel through it with ...
