Otto Stern (German pronunciation: [ˈɔto ˈʃtɛʁn] ⓘ; 17 February 1888 – 17 August 1969) was a German-American physicist and Nobel laureate in physics. He was the second most nominated physicist for a Nobel Prize, with 82 nominations in the years 1925–1945 [1] (most times nominated is Arnold Sommerfeld with 84 nominations ...
Otto Stern was a German-born American physicist who developed and applied the molecular beam method to study the properties of molecules, atoms and nuclei. He verified Maxwell's law of velocity distribution, measured the magnetic moments of sub-atomic particles, and demonstrated the wave nature of atoms and molecules.
Otto Stern was a German-born scientist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1943 for his development of the molecular beam as a tool for studying the characteristics of molecules and for his measurement of the magnetic moment of the proton.
