A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between ...

MIT physicists perform the most precise double-slit experiment using ultracold atoms, confirming Bohr’s quantum theory over ...

In his book Niels Bohr’s Times, the physicist Abraham Pais captures a paradox in his subject’s legacy by quoting three conflicting assessments. Pais cites Max Born, of the first generation of quantum ...

Niels Bohr 1885 - 1962 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.

Physicist Niels Bohr, shown here in 1923, introduced the principle of complementarity to quantum physics. Some physicists and philosophers who have been skeptical of that idea have misunderstood ...

Aage Niels Bohr 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 ...

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.

More than ever before, Tom Buk-Swienty’s biography on Niels Bohr will give us a much more intimate look at the scientist and the private man,who had a remarkably loving relationship to his wife ...
