Winning the Nobel prize
In 1922, Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them.For his Nobel lecture, Bohr gave his audience a comprehensive survey of what was then known about the structure of the atom.This states that the behaviour of systems described by quantum theory reproduces classical physics in the limit of large quantum numbers. -
Contributions to science 1922-1936
In 1936 he pointed out that in nuclear processes the smallness of the region in which interactions take place, as well as the strength of these interactions, justify the transition processes to be described more in a classical way than in the case of atoms. Bohr also contributed to the clarification of the problems encountered in quantum physics, in particular by developing the concept of complementarity. -
Nazi occupation of Denmark
During the Nazi occupation of Denmark in World War II, Bohr escaped to Sweden and spent the last two years of the war in England and America, where he became associated with the Atomic Energy Project. -
Legacy
Niels Bohr was a scientists of modern physics, best known for his contributions to quantum theory and his Nobel Prize winning research on the structure of atoms. Bohr's greatest contribution to modern physics was the atomic model. Bohr's contributions to the study of quantum mechanics have been memorialized at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Copenhagen University, which he helped found in 1920 and headed until his death in 1962.
