Skimming through the latest issue of CavMag – a glossy newsletter about the latest developments at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge – I at first thought I had misread an article that stated: “In ...
What is it that leads rather gifted children to become Einstein, Bohr, Rutherford or Heisenberg W , those great physicists of the 20th century? Biographies often reveal forks in the road, moments of ...
The Bohr atom is unquestionably a landmark in the history of physics. A century after its publication, it has inspired a remarkably diverse and ever-growing field of research. But to fully grasp the ...
IN 1923, at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Liverpool, Lord Rutherford announced, at the top of his enormous voice: “We are living in the heroic age of physics ...
