A mobile depicting Niels Bohr’s atomic model, with a gold-coloured nucleus surrounded by electrons on thin orbits of stainless steel. Bohr presented the model in 1913, and for its centenary the mobile was designed in collaboration with the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. The slightest draught makes the orbits slowly circle the nucleus.
