Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a ...

Bohr’s atomic model was utterly revolutionary when it was presented in 1913 but, although it is still taught in schools, it became obsolete decades ago. However, its creator also developed a much ...

Picture an atom, and you may imagine spherical electrons orbiting a nucleus packed with particles like neutrons. Only certain orbits - quantum levels - are possible. It's a simplistic model, yet ...

One hundred years ago, Niels Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, where electrons go around a nucleus at the centre like planets in the Solar System. The model and its implications brought a lot ...

Danish physicist and Nobel Laureate Niels Henrik David Bohr's atomic model, popularly called the Bohr's Atomic Model, is search engine major Google's new doodle. The doodle marks Bohr's 127th birth ...

For millennia, atoms had been phantoms, widely suspected to exist but remaining stubbornly invisible — though not indivisible, as their name (Greek for “uncuttable”) originally implied. By the start ...
