Physicists and science writers are marking the birthday of Danish physicist Niels Bohr, born 7 October 1885. Bohr, who died in 1962, is best known for the Bohr-Rutherford model of the atom, in which electrons orbit a dense nucleus, a cornerstone of early quantum mechanics. Tributes note his lasting influence on atomic theory and modern physics.
Why now: The date marks the anniversary of Niels Bohr's birth, prompting commemorative posts from the physics community.
