	Niels Bohr: Tutte le informazioni su Niels Bohr su Encyclopedia.it (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bohr concepì il principio di complementarità: sistemi che hanno proprietà in contraddizione fra loro possono essere considerati separatamente.
		Bohr trovò anche applicazioni filosofiche a questo strano principio, che fu anche il motivo di famose discussioni con Albert Einstein, che invece preferiva la chiarezza della fisica classica rispetto ai nuovi concetti quantistici.
		Appunto con Heisenberg, ebbe un incontro nel 1941; in quell'incontro potrebbe aver ottenuto informazioni sul piano nucleare tedesco, a cui Heisenberg lavorava.

		On the basis of Rutherford's theories, Bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913, introducing the theory of electrons traveling in orbits around the atom's nucleus, the chemical properties of the element being largely determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits.
		In 1916, Niels Bohr became a professor at the University of Copenhagen, and director of the newly constructed "Institute of Theoretical Physics" in 1920.

		Bohr postulated that radiation is emitted from atoms not as a result of the periodic motion of the electron in its orbit, but only when an electron "jumps" from one orbit to another losing energy that is emitted as radiation.
		Bohr's theory of the compound nucleus, in which the repulsion between positively charged protons is countered by huge amounts of energy in order to hold the nucleus together, helped lead to the hypothesis that splitting an atom would produce enough energy to fabricate a powerful weapon.
		Niels Bohr died in 1962 and is buried in Copenhagen.

		Niels Henrik David Bohr (October 7, 1885 - November 18, 1962) was a Danish physicist.
		Based on Rutherford's theories, Bohr published his Bohr model about atom structure in 1913, introducing the theory of electrons travelling on orbits around the atom's nucleus, with the outer orbits holding more electrons than the inner ones, thereby determining the chemical properties of the atom.
		In 1916, Bohr became professor at the University of Copenhagen, and director of the newly constructed "Institute of Theoretical Physics" in 1920.

		Bohr distinguished himself at the University of Copenhagen, winning a gold medal from the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters for his theoretical analysis of and precise experiments on the vibrations of water jets as a way of determining surface tension.
		Bohr was among the first to see the importance of the atomic number, which indicates the position of an element in the periodic table and is equal to the number of natural units of electric charge on the nuclei of its atoms.

		When Niels was only a few months old his father Christian had been appointed as a lecturer to fill a post left vacant by the death of Peter Panum, the professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen, and a short while later the family moved into the Panum's professorial house in Copenhagen.

	NBI Today and previously.
		Niels Bohr returned to Denmark in August 1945 and immediately began to plan an extension of the Institute to permit active participation in nuclear research which was rapidly developing.
		Bohr's lectures, composed with tremendous labour, were indeed masterpieces of allusive evocation of a subtle dialectic; the trouble was that the audience was usually unprepared to catch subtle allusions to conceptions and arguments which were anyhow unfamiliar and hard to grasp.
		Bohr intervened with a soothing pronouncement about how hard it was to imagine how the behaviour of the electron could be described beyond the limit where correspondence with the classical point-charge picture afforded legitimate guidance; we must here be prepared for further renouncement in the application of classical concepts.

		Bohr was traveling to the United States when Frisch was conducting his experiment but Bohr learned of the results while in route and immediately came up with a theory.
		Bohr was very concerned about the atomic bomb and tended to view the bomb as device that could unify nations, since it could after all, cause catastrophic damage.

	Niels Bohr: The Atomic Bomb and Beyond
		But Bohr was also one of the most foresighted of men, and one of the few who not only thought ahead about the post-World War II implications of the atomic bomb but who personally urged President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill to prepare for the nuclear future.
		Bohr became one of the key fission researchers, determining in 1939 that the rare U-235 isotope was the isotope that made uranium fissionable and which made a chain reaction theoretically possible.
		Bohr was surprised; he later wrote: "...it was a revelation to me to learn...about the advanced stage the work had already reached" (J. Robert Oppenheimer papers, Box 34, Bohr memorandum to President Roosevelt, July 3rd, 1944, Library of Congress).

		In one of Bohr's successful attempts at this, he was especially pleased to note that Einstein had forgotten that according to his own theory of general relativity clocks run more slowly under the influence of a gravitational field.
		Bohr said that many non-radiating orbits were allowed, each one having an integral factor of the basic unit of angular momentum, h/2*pi.
		Bohr's "Copenhagen school" produced the famous "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics of which one of the main planks was Bohr's theory of "complementarity".

	The Bohr Model
		The Bohr Model is probably familar as the "planetary model" of the atom illustrated in the adjacent figure that, for example, is used as a symbol for atomic energy (a bit of a misnomer, since the energy in "atomic energy" is actually the energy of the nucleus, rather than the entire atom).
		In the Bohr Model the neutrons and protons (symbolized by red and blue balls in the adjacent image) occupy a dense central region called the nucleus, and the electrons orbit the nucleus much like planets orbiting the Sun (but the orbits are not confined to a plane as is approximately true in the Solar System).
		This similarity between a planetary model and the Bohr Model of the atom ultimately arises because the attractive gravitational force in a solar system and the attractive Coulomb (electrical) force between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons in an atom are mathematically of the same form.
