   Walther Gerlach (1 August 1889 – 10 August 1979) was a German physicist who co-discovered, through laboratory experiment, spin quantization in a magnetic field, the Stern–Gerlach effect. The experiment was conceived by Otto Stern in 1921 and successfully conducted first by Gerlach in early 1922.

   What did Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach discover?

   • But the correct interpretation of the result proved to be far more subtle — and revolutionary. In a paper published in April 1922, Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach described an experiment in which they fired a narrow beam of silver atoms through a vertical magnetic field gradient.
