SUMMARY

This discussion provides valuable resources for researching Niels Bohr, particularly for a summer physical science presentation. Key sites include Wikipedia for a comprehensive biography, the American Institute of Physics (AIP) for historical context, and the Nobel Prize website for detailed information on Bohr's contributions to physics. The discussion emphasizes the importance of utilizing reputable physics organizations like the APS and IoP for extensive information on physicists and their work.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Niels Bohr's contributions to quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with academic research methods
  • Knowledge of reputable scientific organizations and their resources
  • Ability to navigate online academic databases and websites
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the American Institute of Physics (AIP) for historical resources on Niels Bohr
  • Review the Nobel Prize website for detailed information on Bohr's achievements
  • Investigate the American Physical Society (APS) for publications related to Bohr's work
  • Study Bohr's philosophical views on paradoxes and opposites as articulated in his maxim “contraria sunt complementa”
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers interested in the life and contributions of Niels Bohr, as well as anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of quantum mechanics and its historical context.

suggestions on any good Niels Bohr sites...

Taking a summer physical science class..and my presentation is on Niels Bohr...I wanted to know if there were any good sites anyone can point me to. THX :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I do not know how much do you know already about Bohr, but Wikipedia has a good summary and overview of his biography,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr

There you can find also links to other sites and a collection of some of Bohrs quotes, which reflect his interesting thoughts about paradoxes and opposites (which are summarized in his maxim “contraria sunt complementa”).

Regards.

http://www.nbi.dk/NBA/webpage.html
http://www.nobel.se/physics/laureates/1922/bohr-bio.html

Again, this is a good time for me to re-emphasize that physics organizations such as the APS (American Physical Society), AIP (American Institute of Physics), IoP (Institute of Physics), EPS (European Physical Society), etc. have a wealth of info, links, resources, etc. They are an excellent place to start on ANY search about physics, physicists, physics students, physics departments, physics history, and other stuff.
