It's a simplistic model, yet provides insights into atoms and chemical properties, and this year marks 100 years since the model was first proposed by Danish physicist Niels Bohr.

The Bohr model, while not an accurate description of an atom, is often close enough to the real thing in many situations. It is especially so when teaching physics, because it is one of the few ...

Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen atom, a Rice University-led team of physicists has created giant, millimeter-sized atoms that ...
