  • The Early History of the Niels Bohr Institute
    CHAPTER 4.1 Birthplace of a new physics - the early history of the Niels Bohr Institute Peter Robertson* Abstract SCI.DAN.M. The foundation in 1921 of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen was to prove an important event in the I birth of modern physics. From its modest beginnings as • ONE a small three-storey building and a handful of physicists, HUNDRED the Institute underwent a rapid expansion over the fol­ lowing years. Under Bohr’s leadership, the Institute provided the principal centre for the emergence of quan­ YEARS tum mechanics and a new understanding of Nature at OF the atomic level. Over sixty physicists from 17 countries THE came to collaborate with the Danish physicists at the In­ BOHR stitute during its first decade. The Bohr Institute was the ATOM: first truly international centre in physics and, indeed, one of the first in any area of science. The Institute pro­ PROCEEDINGS vided a striking demonstration of the value of interna­ tional cooperation in science and it inspired the later development of similar centres elsewhere in Europe and FROM the United States. In this article I will discuss the origins and early development of the Institute and examine the A CONFERENCE reasons why it became such an important centre in the development of modern physics.

    «VITENSKAP I KRIG OG FRED » Astrofysikeren Svein Rosseland i norsk forskningspolitikk 1945-1965 Hovedoppgave i historie av Ole Anders Røberg Historisk Institutt Universitetet i Oslo Våren 2000 Forord Denne oppgaven er en av flere hovedfagsoppgaver som er skrevet i tilknytning til Forum for Universitetshistorie ved UiO. Stor takk i denne sammenheng går i første rekke til min veileder, John Peter Collett, som har bidratt med svært omfattende og intensiv veiledning preget av genuin interesse for oppgavens tematiske felt. Det er foretatt visse endringer i oppgaven i forbindelse med opptrykket i Forums hovedoppgaveserie. For det meste dreier det seg om språkrettinger, men i tillegg er også enkelte avsnitt eller kommentarer lagt til for å forklare eller understreke poenger som jeg følte gikk tapt i den opprinnelige teksten. Lite er trukket fra, men enkelte skjemmende «blødmer» har blitt fjernet, om enn ikke alle. Det som står igjen av uferdige eller urimelige resonnementer går helt på min regning, da min veileder Collett gjorde en heltemodig innsats i innspurtsfasen for å rette opp det aller verste både innholdsmessig og språklig. Takk går også til de som på et eller annet nivå har lest hele eller deler av teksten. Blant disse er Ola Storberg, Vilde Høvik, Audun Røberg Jr., Petter Holm Normann, Anne Vaalund og diverse seminardeltakere ved Forum for Universitetshistorie. Takk til Institutt for teoretisk astrofysikk for å ha gitt meg muligheten til å gå igjennom relativt rikholdige men rotete arkiver i instituttets kontorer og kjellerlokaler, og takk til behjelpelig personale ved både Riksarkivet og UiOs arkiver på Blindern. Takk går til Osloforskning for stipend.

Illuminating antimatter The humble hydrogen atom has taught us much during the past two centuries, ultimately leading to the atomic picture of Bohr. As this month’s cover feature argues, physicists are morally obligated to subject anti-hydrogen to the same analytical tools – in particular to test if antimatter obeys the same fundamental symmetries as matter. Following a long campaign, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator (AD) has recently measured the antihydrogen 1S–2S transition and other spectral properties of antihydrogen, opening a new direction of exploration. Meanwhile, the AD’s BASE experiment has measured the antiproton magnetic moment with exquisite precision, further testing symmetries such as CPT. We also describe a Cornell-Brookhaven project to build the first superconducting multi-turn energy recovery linac, survey the latest attempts to test the validity of the Pauli exclusion principle, and report on an initiative to establish a world-class research infrastructure in South-East Europe following the CERN model.

    History of Meteorology 7 (2015) 83 Asking too much? Postwar climate research in Norway, 1947-1961 Magnus Vollset [email protected] AHKR, University of Bergen Following the extremely dry summer of 1947, the head of the Norwegian Water Resources and Electricity Works, Fredrik Vogt, wrote a concerned letter to the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters asking if the climate was changing, and if this would be possible to predict. Vogt was worried about the future stability of Norwegian hydropower: “If you can develop fairly reliable prognosis for climate variations in the coming years or decades, this would be of great practical importance for how we manage the power supply.”1 In response, the Academy established a multidisciplinary taskforce, which gave birth to an Institute for Weather and Climate Research. Parallel to this, the Meteorological Office had its own section for climate. However, by the time the Institute closed in 1960, the question of climate prediction was long forgotten. This paper investigates Norwegian postwar climate research through studying the institution that was set up, its mandate, how the research was funded, which researchers were involved, and how they were recruited. I examine the findings, the concurrent debates on what meteorological research to conduct, and show how ‘climate’ held different meanings for the different actors. The goal of the paper is to explain why Vogt’s request for climate prognosis was not pursued. By focusing on the overlooked period 1947-61, which was when the Institute for Weather and Climate Research operated, and before the computer at the Meteorological Office transformed the capacities of the climatologists, I demonstrate that history is not a linear affair, and that research projects that did not lead to a breakthrough are also part of it.

Bohr was also a philosopher and promoter of scientific research. Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that electron energy levels are discrete and that electrons rotate in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus, but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid.

Exploring the role of Norwegian scholar-activists of the late twentieth century, Peder Anker examines how they portrayed their country as a place of environmental stability in a world filled with tension. In contrast with societies dirtied by the hot and cold wars of the twentieth century, Norway’s power, they argued, lay in the pristine, ideal natural environment of the periphery. Globally, a beautiful Norway came to be contrasted with a polluted world and fashioned as an ecological microcosm for the creation of a better global macro- cosm. In this innovative, interdisciplinary history, Anker explores the ways in which ecological concerns were imported via Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962, then to be exported from Norway back to the world at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
