Bohr's groundbreaking work, often cited as the birth of modern atomic theory, provided a bridge between Planck's quantized interaction of (truncated) matter and radiation to the full theory quantum mechanics. In 1922, Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in investigating atomic structure. (Inventory #: 140940042)
