Clinton Joseph Davisson (1881–1958) was an American physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1937 with George Paget Thomson for their experimental discovery of electron diffraction by crystals, confirming the wave nature of electrons and validating de Broglie's hypothesis. His meticulous work at Bell Telephone Laboratories bridged classical and quantum physics, emphasizing empirical precision and the interplay between theory and experiment.
