Clinton Joseph Davisson (22 October 1881 – 1 February 1958), was an American physicist. In 1927 while working for Bell Labs he confirmed the De Broglie hypothesis that that all matter has a wave-like nature through the discovery of electron diffraction. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1937 with George Paget Thomson for the discovery of electron diffraction.
