One of the physicists that worked on Quantum Mechanics in the 1920s and 1930s. He is Danish and lived in Copenhagen. He is most popularly known for his interpretation of Quantum Mechanics that came to be called the Copenhagen Interpretation (which Einstein strongly opposed).

During WW2 following the Nazi invasion of Denmark, he nearly died in a unpressurized part of a British bomber from lack of oxygen, even though he was given an oxygen mask and bottle, when the mask came loose from his large head and he blacked out before he could put it back.

Niels Bohr was a theoretical physics professor at the University of Copenhagen. He discovered the Quantum Atom. He won the 1922 Nobel Prize for Physics. Niels Bohr was a great contributor for Quantum Mechanics.

Niels Bohr was born 7 October 1885. He was influenced by Ernest Rutherford. In the 20th century, Bohr and Einstein had public disputes over Quantum Mechanics.

The Bohr atom model had positive protons and neutrons in the middle while the negative electrons were orbiting the protons and neutrons. The source was from the book Quantum.

What did niels bohr?

Based on conversations with Rutherford Niels Bohr developed the Bohr-Rutherford nuclear model of the Atom. It is the one you have met in elementary school where Protons and Neutrons form a core with electrons circling in fixed orbits around the core. The orbits explained (some kind of) radiation which had hitherto been a mystery. He discovered that electrons in atoms are arranged according to the energy levels.
