noun

1. Aage Niels (ˈɔɡə neːls). 1922–2009, Danish physicist, noted for his work on nuclear structure. He shared the Nobel prize for physics 1975
2. his father, Niels (Henrik David). 1885–1962, Danish physicist, who applied the quantum theory to Rutherford’s model of the atom to explain spectral lines: Nobel prize for physics 1922

1. Danish physicist. He won a 1922 Nobel Prize for his investigation of atomic structure and radiations. His son Aage Niels Bohr (born 1922), also a physicist, shared a 1975 Nobel Prize for discovering the asymmetry of atomic nuclei.

1. Danish physicist who investigated atomic structure and radiation. Bohr discovered that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom at set distances, changing levels only when energy is lost or gained and emitting or absorbing radiation in the process. His concepts were fundamental to the later development of quantum mechanics.
