View full profile →

Charles Thomson Rees Wilson (1869–1959) was a Scottish physicist and meteorologist best known for inventing the cloud chamber, a device that made visible the paths of ionizing particles. His work earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927, shared with Arthur Compton. Wilson's deep interest in atmospheric phenomena, particularly cloud formation, drove his experimental approach to particle physics.
