This week marks the centenary of the French physicist Louis de Broglie's doctoral thesis, which later earned him a Nobel prize for "his discovery of the wave nature of electrons." This discovery ...
Professor Thibault Damour explains the significance of Louis de Broglie's theory. In November 1924, French physicist Louis de Broglie presented his revolutionary theory that has become one of the ...
An even more upsetting realization came a few years later though, when Louis de Broglie put forward the idea that all matter also has wave properties. This was demonstrated by George Paget Thomson ...
