Soon, Niels Bohr and others showed that atoms possessed a similarly chunky quality: the electrons in atoms could only take on a discrete set of states. Atoms were also quantum mechanical.

As physicists like Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began to study particles, they discovered new physics laws that were downright quirky. These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got ...

The centenary of the discovery of the quantum atom by Niels Bohr will be celebrated at the University with an event organised by the Institute of Physics today (Saturday). The Danish physicist and ...

Entanglement forms the basis of quantum networks and is central to developing efficient quantum computers. Researchers from ...

Niels Bohr’s base of theoretical operations lent its name to what became known as the “Copenhagen interpretation” of quantum mechanics, according to which – to put it very crudely ...

Standard quantum theory as developed by the likes of Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in the 1920s is fine for describing the workings of individual particles in isolation and at slow speeds.

There’s quantum mechanics, the basic mathematical framework that underpins it all, which was first developed in the 1920s by Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger and others.

In the 1920s physicists in Copenhagen, led by Niels Bohr, argued that quantum mechanics is only about what we can say about reality (epistemology) rather than describing reality itself (ontology).

Some scientists have revealed an ominous climate calculation, based on greenhouse gas emissions, that predicts the Atlantic Ocean's current will shut down around 2060 if nothing changes before then.
