💻 Quantum Computing: The Einstein-Bohr - DebatesTo understand the power and the challenges of the quantum computer, we have to spend a little more time watching the intense debates between ...

Wheeler worked with Bohr again when he visited Princeton in 1939. Together, the two wrote an article describing what they called “the liquid-drop model” of the atomic nucleus to describe how ...

The Bohr model of the atom. AG Caesar/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA One class of elements, the noble gases, hardly ever react with other elements.

Richard Rhodes’ magisterial The Making of the Atomic Bomb (1986) begins very memorably. As he steps off the kerb to cross the road in central London on a dreary autumn morning in 1933, Hungarian ...

Bohr’s Model of an Atom: Students get to know the Bohr’s Model of an Atom. Find out what are its limitations and the postulates it is based on.

For Bohr’s young colleague Werner Heisenberg, ‘light and matter are single entities and the apparent duality arises in the limitations of our language.’ Richard Feynman agreed: the electron, he said, ...

Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe.

The theory was developed by Neils Bohr's great-grandson. The use of a special type of atom could make even the most advanced atomic clocks more precise, scientists believe. If confirmed, this ...

Tangled theories Bohr and Einstein's famous debate on the very nature of physical reality, in the light of quantum discoveries, still remains unresolved (Courtesy: iStock/Pitris) Next year sees the ...

Stern conceived of an experiment that could invalidate Bohr’s theory. He wanted to test whether electrons in a magnetic field could be oriented any which way, or only in discrete directions as Bohr ...

Bohr was judged by the wider scientific community to have won the debate and, by the early 1950s, Einstein’s star was waning. Unlike Bohr, Einstein had established no school of his own.
