Physicists Clinton Joseph Davisson (1881-1958) (at left) and Lester Halbert Germer (1896-1971) (at right), shown here with a vacuum tube used in their electron diffraction experiments, worked at Bell Laboratories. Davisson was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937, jointly with George Paget Thomson [SIA Digital No. 2009-4148] for their independent discovery of the wave nature of electrons.
