{title2=electron diffraction}

Early <electron diffraction experiment> from 1927 that drastically confirmed the <matter wave> hypothesis.
* <Davisson-Germer experiment>
* <Diffraction of Cathode Rays by a Thin Film by Thomson and Reid (1927)>


1937 Nobel Prize in Physics

Atoms exist and last for a long time, while in <Maxwell's equations>[classical electromagnetic theory punctual] orbiting electrons should emit radiation quickly and fall into the nucleus: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/20003/why-dont-electrons-crash-into-the-nuclei-they-orbit

In other sections:
* <black-body radiation experiment>
  * <Einstein solid> experiments, which are analogous to black body radiation experiments
* <emission spectrum>
* <electron diffraction experiments> such as:
  * <Davisson-Germer experiment>
