While Bohr was still a student, the Academy of Sciences in Copenhagen offered a reward for anyone who could solve a certain scientific problem. He took up with experiment and did a theoretical investigation of the surface tension by oscillating fluid jets. By completing this experiment in his father’s laboratory, Bohr received the reward and published his work in the Transactions of the Royal Society. (Niels Bohr – Facts. NobelPrize.org.

1912
In 1912, while working in Professor Rutherford’s laboratory in Manchester doing intensive scientific work, Bohr helped his professor research and study the fundamental properties of the radioactive phenomena. Then together they continued doing research and discovered the absorption of alpha rays, this information was later published in a science magazine. (Niels Bohr – Facts. NobelPrize.org.

1913
After his work with Professor Rutherford, Bohr continued to study the structure of the atoms on the basis of Rutherford’s discovery of the atomic nucleus. (Niels Bohr – Facts. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Media AB 2019. Tue. 19 Nov 2019.) -
1922
Recognition of his work on the structure of atoms came with the award of the Nobel Prize for 1922. (Niels Bohr – Facts. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Media AB 2019. Tue. 19 Nov 2019.) -
1930
In 1930 while still working in the Institute, Bohr’s research was mainly directed on the constitution of the atomic nuclei and their transmutations and disintegrations. Then in 1936 Bohr pointed out the smallness of the nuclear process with the actions that take place, the strength of the interactions and the transition processes which move in a more classical way than in the case of atoms.

1939
1939, The creation of the liquid droplet theory which helped scientists understand what happens to the nucleus during nuclear fission. (Niels Bohr – Facts. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Media AB 2019. Tue. 19 Nov 2019.) -
1940
Bohr then contributed to clarifying the problems in quantum physics by developing the concept of complementarity. This could show the changes of our scientific outlook and how there are consequences to this change and reaches farther than just the scope of atomic physics but all human knowledge.
