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 ...

In the 1920s, Louis de Broglie in France was studying the new science theories of quantum mechanics. He knew that physicists now believed light waves--usually thought of as a constantly ...

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 ...

In 1924, Louis de Broglie posited that—like light particles—electrons have wave properties. In 1927, the U.S. physicists Davisson and Germer provided experimental proof of this. Phys.org ...
