I was born in Copenhagen on June 19, 1922, as the fourth son of Niels Bohr Institute for Theoretical Physics (now the Niels Bohr Institute), and the remarkable generation of scientists who came to join my father in his work became for us children Uncle Kramers, Uncle Klein, Uncle Nishina, Uncle Heisenberg, Uncle Pauli, etc. When I was about ten years old, my parents moved to the mansion at Carlsberg, where they were hosts for widening circles of scholars, artists, and persons in public life.
I began studying physics at the University of Copenhagen in 1940 (a few months after the German occupation of Denmark). By that time, I had already begun to assist my father with correspondence, with his writing of articles of a general epistemological character, and gradually also in connection with his work in physics. In those years, he was concerned partly with problems of nuclear physics and partly with problems relating to the penetration of atomic particles through matter.
On my return to Denmark, I resumed my studies at the University and obtained a master's degree in 1946. My thesis was concerned with some aspects of atomic stopping problems.

Bohr, Aage Niels (1922-)

Portions of this entry contributed by Leonardo Motta Danish physicist born in Copenhagen on June 19, 1922 as the fourth son of Margarethe and Niels Bohr . He entered the Copenhagen University in 1940, following the steps of his father. By that time, Aage was already assisting his father with mail and writing papers. During World War II, the Bohr family fled to Sweden to avoid the Nazis. Shortly afterwards, Aage and his father went to England. During this time, Aage was acting as his father's assistant and secretary, sharing his father's research. In August 1945, they both returned to Denmark, and Aage resumed his studies, obtaining a master's degree in the following year with a thesis on some aspects of atomic stopping problems. In 1948, Aage joined the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, and from there went to Columbia University, where he discussed a newly discovered effect in the hyperfine structure of deuterium with I.

Bohr, Aage N.,
in full AAGE NIELS BOHR (b. June 19, 1922, Copenhagen, Den.), Danish physicist who shared the 1975 Nobel Prize for Physics with Ben R. Mottelson and James Rainwater for their work in determining the asymmetrical shapes of certain atomic nuclei. Bohr was educated at the University of Copenhagen, where he received his doctorate in 1954. During the 1940s he worked as assistant to his father, Niels Bohr (1922 Nobel physics laureate), on the development of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, N.M. From 1946 he was associated with the Niels Bohr Institute of Theoretical Physics, founded in Copenhagen by his father, whom he succeeded as director from 1963 to 1970. From experiments inspired by the theories of James Rainwater and conducted in collaboration with Ben R. Mottelson in the early 1950s, Bohr discovered that the motion of subatomic particles can distort the shape of the nucleus, thus challenging the widely accepted theory that all nuclei are perfectly spherical. This discovery was important for the understanding and development of nuclear fusion. Bohr's writings include Rotational States of Atomic Nuclei (1954) and Nuclear Structure

    Niels Bohr
    Niels Bohr was born and educated in Copenhagen, Denmark. He lived, worked, and died there, too. But his mark on science and history was worldwide. His professional work and personal convictions were part of the larger stories of the century. At the University of Copenhagen, he studied physics and played soccer (though not as well as his brother, who helped the 1908 Danish soccer team win an Olympic silver medal). After receiving his doctorate in 1911, Bohr traveled to England on a study grant and worked under J.J. Thomson, who had discovered the electron 15 years earlier. Bohr began to work on the problem of the atom's structure. Ernest Rutherford had recently suggested the atom had a miniature, dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of nearly weightless electrons. There were a few problems with the model, however. For example, according to classical physics, the electrons orbiting the nucleus should lose energy until they spiral down into the center, collapsing the atom. Bohr proposed adding to the model the new idea of quanta put forth by Max Planck in 1901. That way, electrons existed at set levels of energy, that is, at fixed distances from the nucleus. If the atom absorbed energy, the electron jumped to a level further from the nucleus; if it radiated energy, it fell to a level closer to the nucleus. His model was a huge leap forward in making theory fit the experimental evidence that other physicists had found over the years. A few inaccuracies remained to be ironed out by others over the next few years, but his essential idea was proved correct. He received the Nobel Prize for this work in 1922, and it's what he's most famous for. But he was only 37 at the time, and he didn't stop there. Among other things, he put forth the theory of the nucleus as a liquid drop, and the idea of "complementarity" that things may have a dual nature (as the electron is both particle and wave) but we can only experience one aspect at a time.
