Otto Stern
1888 CE–1969 CE · Sohrau (Żory), Upper Silesia
Otto Stern was a German-American experimental physicist who pioneered the molecular beam method and, with Walther Gerlach, demonstrated spatial quantization in the 1922 Stern–Gerlach experiment. He measured the magnetic moment of the proton and received the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1943. He is the Nobel laureate physicist, not the Marxist theorist Viktor Stern.
