Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is ...

Bohr entered the story in 1912 when, working in the laboratory of Ernest Rutherford in Manchester, he devised a quantum theory of the atom. In Bohr’s picture, the electrons encircling the atomic ...

Bohr feels it will take 10-15 years for lithium batteries to become dominant so the company still has the opportunity to come to the forefront of the technology and play a leading role.

Bosch Automotive CEO Bernd Bohr indicated in mid-May that the company would be partnering with another supplier to produce automotive-grade lithium ion cells. It now turns out that Samsung SDI ...

Bohr began to work on the problem of the atom's structure. Ernest Rutherford had recently suggested the atom had a miniature, dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of nearly weightless electrons.

In 1913, Niels Bohr revised Rutherford's model by suggesting that the electrons orbited the nucleus in different energy levels or at specific distances from the nucleus. By doing this, he was able ...

Bohr began his lecture by elaborating on the central ideas behind his model, which were based on the work of Ernest Rutherford and Max Planck’s quantum theory. His model proposed that ...
