'''Aage Niels Bohr''' ({{IPA2|ˈɔːʊ̯&#x329; nels ˈb̥oɐ̯ˀ}}) (born [[June 19]] [[1922]] in [[Copenhagen]]) is a [[Denmark|Danish]] [[physicist]] and the son of Margrethe and [[Niels Bohr]]. Growing up among [[physicists]] like [[Wolfgang Pauli]] and [[Werner Heisenberg]], he became a notable [[nuclear physics|nuclear physicist]] in his own right, being awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Physics]] in [[1975]]. In [[1946]], he became an associate at the [[Niels Bohr Institute]] of [[Theoretical Physics]] at the [[University of Copenhagen]]. He served as the director of the institute from [[1963]] to [[1970]].

In [[1948]], Bohr worked with [[Ben Roy Mottelson|Ben Mottelson]] and [[James Rainwater|Leo James Rainwater]] in [[Copenhagen]] to summarize the current knowledge of nuclear structure in a [[monograph]]. The first volume, ''Single-Particle Motion,'' appeared in [[1969]], and the second volume, ''Nuclear Deformations,'' in [[1975]]. Their efforts on this project and their collaboration on nuclear theory led all three of them to receive the [[1975]] [[Nobel Prize in Physics]], for research on the quantum mechanical description of [[nucleons]] orbiting inside an oscillating rotating droplet.
