When Rutherford returned to his research in 1917, he wrote to Niels Bohr in December saying the he was “trying to break up the atom”, which he urged Bohr to regard as “private”. Rutherford studied ...

Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom—first published 100 years ago and commemorated in a special issue of Nature—is simple, elegant, revolutionary, and wrong. Well, "wrong" isn't exactly ...

Two years later, though, Niels Bohr combined Rutherford’s model with quantum physics to explain mysterious regularities in the light emitted by hydrogen atoms.
