High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Niels Henrik David Bohr (7 October 1885 ? 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist who made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr mentored and collaborated with many of the top physicists of the century at his institute in Copenhagen. He was part of a team of physicists working on the Manhattan Project. Bohr married Margrethe Nørlund in 1912, and one of their sons, Aage Bohr, grew up to be an important physicist who in 1975 also received the Nobel prize. Bohr has been described as one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century. ... Read more

Excerpt:Aage Niels Bohr Aage Niels Bohr (Danish pronunciation: ( listen); 19 June 1922 8 September 2009) was a Danish nuclear physicist and Nobel laureate , and the son of Niels and Margrethe Bohr. Life and career Bohr was born in Copenhagen in 1922, and grew up surrounded by physicists such as Wolfgang Pauli and Werner Heisenberg , who were working with his father at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (now the Niels Bohr Institute ) at the University of Copenhagen . In 1940, shortly after the German occupation of Denmark, Bohr began his physics degree at the University of Copenhagen. In October 1943, shortly before he was to be arrested by the German police, Niels Bohr escaped to Sweden with his family, later travelling to London and on to work on the Manhattan Project . During this time, Aage Bohr travelled with his father, acting as his assistant and secretary. The Bohrs returned to Denmark in 1945, and Aage returned to University, graduating with a master's degree in 1946, with a thesis concerned with some aspects of atomic stopping problems. Following graduation, he became an associate at the Niels Bohr Institute. Bohr worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in early 1948, and later at Columbia University from January 1949 to August 1950. While in the US, Bohr married Marietta Soffer; the couple had three children, Vilhelm, Tomas and Margrethe. Bohr became a professor at the University of Copenhagen in 1956, and, following his father's death in 19... ... Read more

Bohr has been described as one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century. Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1885. His father, Christian Bohr, a devout Lutheran, was professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen (it is his name which is given to the Bohr shift or Bohr effect), while his mother, Ellen Adler Bohr, came from a wealthy Jewish family prominent in Danish banking and parliamentary circles. His brother was Harald Bohr, a mathematician and Olympic footballer who played on the Danish national team. Niels Bohr was a passionate footballer as well, and the two brothers played a number of matches for the Copenhagen-based Akademisk Boldklub, with Niels in goal. There is, however, no truth in the oft-repeated claim that Niels Bohr emulated his brother Harald by playing for the Danish national team. In 1903 Bohr enrolled as an undergraduate at Copenhagen University, initially studying philosophy and mathematics.

Excerpt:The Atoms for Peace program distributed nuclear technology, materials, and know-how to many countries with less advanced research."Atoms for Peace" was the title of a speech delivered by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower to the UN General Assembly in New York City on December 8, 1953.I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use.That new language is the language of atomic warfare.The United States then launched an "Atoms for Peace" program that supplied equipment and information to schools, hospitals, and research institutions within the U.S. and throughout the world. The first nuclear reactors in Iran and Pakistan were built under the program by American Machine and Foundry .Philosophy of Atoms for Peace The speech was possibly a tipping point for international focus on peaceful uses of atomic energy, even during the early stages of the Cold War . It could be argued that Eisenhower, with some influence from Albert Einstein , was attempting to convey a spirit of comfort to a terrified world that the horror of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would not be experienced again.It presents an ostensible antithesis to brinkmanship , the international intrigue that subsequently kept ... ...
