Surface Tension Paper
Niels Bohr while still in college wrote a research paper about measuring the surface tension of liquids, (Oct, 1906). This was intended for his much more experiences colleagues, yet he won and received a gold medal. This would be the start of many of his estimated 115 publications. -
Bohr Model
Bohr, after many experiments and years of studying the composition of atoms, discovered the orbital path of electrons around a nucleus. A model that we still use today in schools, over 100 years old. -
Nobel Prize
For the work he did, discovering the orbital paths around an atom in 1913, he was awarded the highest prize in science, the Nobel Prize in Physics. -
Liquid Drop Model
Bohr and John Wheeler worked together to make the Liquid Drop Model. This model says that liquid can be deformed from a spherical shape and a large drop could fall apart into two drops. This lead to a better understanding behind the Uranium atom bomb and Uranium Power plants. -
Manhattan Project
During the time of the Nazis invading Denmark, the family fled to Sweden, where they were flown safely to Scotland. Father and Son, Christian and Niels Bohr, began working on the atomic bomb and the Atomic Energy Project.
