Clifford G. Shull

Clifford G. Shull was an American physicist renowned for his work in neutron scattering, a technique used to study the structure of materials at the atomic level. His research helped scientists understand how atoms are arranged in various substances, which is essential for developing new materials and understanding their properties. Shull's contributions earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1994, shared with Bertram N. Brockhouse. His work has had a lasting impact on materials science, condensed matter physics, and related fields, advancing our knowledge of matter's fundamental structure.
