Bohr Institute
April 1917 Bohr began a campaign to establish an Institute of Theoretical Physics. Bohr's institute served as a focal point for researchers into quantum mechanics and related subjects in the 1920s and 1930s, when most of the world's best known theoretical physicists spent some time in his company. -
Great Contribution to Physics
Neil's Bohr one of the Fathers of the Quantum Theory. His contribution that lead him to the 1922 Nobel Prize was one of the many discoveries. 1924, Bohr, Kramers and John C. Slater, created the BKS Theory which was the final attempt at understanding the interaction of matter and electromagnetic radiation on the basis of the so called old quantum theory in witch quantum phenomenon are treated by imposing quantum restriction on classical wave describable of the electromagnetic field. -
Nobel Prize in Physics
Niels Bohr was one of the Biggest figure in development of Quantum Theory and won the Nobel prize in 1922 for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them. -
Great Debate
The debate was whether Bohr's Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, which centered on his belief of complementarity, was valid in explaining nature. Einstein pointed out how it was possible to take advantage of the laws of conservation of energy order to obtain information on the state of a particle in a process of interference which, according to the principle of indeterminacy or that of complementarity, should not be accessible. (The double Slit Experiment). -
Atom for Peace Award
In 1957 he received the first ever Atoms for Peace Award. An award given to those for there contribution in development or application of peaceful nuclear technology. -
