Neils Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. -
Bohr receives his doctorate
Bohr obtained his doctorate in 1911 with a dissertation on the electron theory of metals. -
The Bohr model
Niels Bohr proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom based on quantum theory that energy is transferred only in certain well defined quantities. Although the Bohr model of the atom has been superseded, but is still the best known model of the atom, as it often appears in high school physics and chemistry texts. -
Institute of Theoretical Physics
Legislation established the institute was passed in November 1918. It opened on 3 March 1921 with Bohr as its director. Bohr's institute served as a focal point for researchers into quantum mechanics and related subjects in the 1920s and 1930s. -
Nobel Prize in Physics
Niels Bohr is awarded the Nobel Prize in physics "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them". -
Copley Medal
Bohr was awarded the Copley Medal which is the oldest Royal Society medal awarded and the oldest surviving scientific award in the world "In recognition of his distinguished work in the development of the quantum theory of atomic structure" -
Manhattan Project
Niels Bohr Bohr arrived in Washington, D.C., where he met with the director of the Manhattan Project, Brigadier General Leslie R. Groves, Jr. He visited Einstein and Pauli at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and went to Los Alamos in New Mexico, where the nuclear weapons were being designed -
International Atomic Energy Agency
Neils Bohr's ideas and work helps the International Atomic Energy Agency. -
Atoms for peace Award
Bohr received the first ever Atoms for peace award in response to U.S. President Dwight D Eisenhower's Atoms for peace speech to the United Nations. -
Niels Bohr Dies
Bohr died of heart failure at his home in Carlsberg on 18 November 1962. He was cremated, and his ashes were buried in the family plot in the Assistens Cemetery. -
Bohrium
Bohrium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol "Bh" and atomic number 107. It is named after Niels Bohr. -
Bohr Model
Bohrs Model is what Bohr is most known for. His contributions and his development of the model is still used in schools to this day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm2C0ovz-3M -
