...also honored a famed scientist last week: Physicist Niels Henrik David Bohr, one of the fathers of atomic fission. President Eisenhower went to Washington's National Academy of Sciences to address the meeting as Bohr received the first Atoms for Peace Award, a gold medal and a $75,000 tax-free "honorarium" put up by the Ford Motor...
Finally, the atom's very shape and nature was at once elucidated and complicated by Rutherford's experiments and Bohr's subsequent theory of the hydrogen atom. The idea of agitated orbital states, defined in integral multiples of Planck's constant seriously contradicted the vision of classical mechanics
...scientist with one of the strongest claims to being Father of the Atom, Denmark's gentle-spoken Niels Bohr, 71, whose pioneering plunge into the heart of his subject won him a Nobel Prize...
...again rewarded, this time for his work on peaceful use of the atom and his, promotion of international cooperation among scientists. Nuclear Physicist Bohr, the founding nucleus of Denmark's famed Institute of Theoretical Physics, was chosen by Atoms for Peace Awards, financed by the Ford Motor Company Fund, to receive its first annual prize: $75,000 and a gold medal...
Gravely and matter-of-factly, Dr. Roscoe G. Bartlett, 29, now with the National Institutes of Health, described experiments that he had carried out with Dr. Vernon C. Bohr at a university which he refused to name. This sort of secrecy had extended to the experiments: three volunteer married couples took part, but their identities were not known to the researchers-only to an intermediary. On separate occasions, in a suitably private room, each volunteer couple attached wires and electrodes to themselves. These were connected with the scientists' recording instruments in another room. Then they had sexual intercourse. Before...
