In 1927, Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer bounced electrons off a nickel crystal and watched them diffract like waves: direct proof that matter has a wavelength. Both were born in October. A short thread on October birthdays in quantum physics.

Quantum Greats slide: Clinton Davisson, b. 1881. Turned the bold idea of matter waves into measured fact.

$Quantum Greats slide: Lester Germer, b. 1896. Demonstrated electron diffraction, confirming matter waves.$
