Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr

physicist Denmark

Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory. He is best known for the Bohr model of the atom, which introduced the idea of quantized energy levels for electrons. Bohr's philosophical insights into quantum mechanics earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922, and he became a central figure in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Born on Oct 07, 1885 (139 years old)
