Andy Napper"How Bell Labs Won Its First Nobel Prize” by Brian Potter.
A great read about the 1925 Davisson and Germer experiment (the canonical “electrons have wave properties” xpt that our chemistry undergrads learn about in physical chemistry class).
Such a long and winding road from inception to realization of what they had discovered. I was unaware of all the details, and found this very enlightening!
