Niels Bohr Institute, Denmark C017 / 6980
Niels Bohr Institute, part of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The Institute was founded by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885-1962) in 1921 as the Institute for Theoretical Physics. Bohr won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. He is best known for developing the quantum theory of electron orbitals, which stated that electrons could only occupy specific regions around an atomic nucleus. This model fitted very well with the observed spectrum of hydrogen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Niels Bohr Institute, located in Denmark. Established in 1921 by the renowned Danish physicist Niels Bohr, this institute is an integral part of the University of Copenhagen. Bohr's groundbreaking work on quantum theory revolutionized our understanding of electron orbitals and earned him a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. The architectural beauty of the Niels Bohr Institute is evident in this image. Its historical significance and contribution to scientific research make it a symbol of excellence within the field of physics. The building stands as a testament to Denmark's rich scientific heritage and its commitment to advancing knowledge. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Bohr's profound impact on atomic physics. His model proposing that electrons occupy specific regions around an atomic nucleus perfectly aligned with experimental observations, particularly those related to hydrogen's spectrum. Beyond its scientific importance, this image also captures the essence of European charm and Scandinavian design sensibilities. The exterior architecture seamlessly blends history with modernity, creating an inviting space for scholars from all over the world. Adam Hart-Davis' skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the physical aspects but also the intellectual significance behind this remarkable institution – one that continues to shape our understanding of quantum physics today.
