Neils Bohr - Danish Physicist
(1885-1962)
October 1937
Following up on a suggestion made by George Gamov in 1928, Bohr publishes the liquid drop model of the nucleus. In this model, the nucleus can be thought of as a drop of liquid which, when acted upon by some outside influence, pulsates and eventually splits in two.
