Biography
Maurice de Broglie (1875-1960) began his life in uniform as a naval officer before lending his disciplined mind to experimental physics, where he explored the mysteries of high-frequency radiation and X-ray spectroscopy with meticulous care.
His work inspired a generation of scholars, and his thoughtful mentorship kept the light of discovery close even after he laid down his scientific instruments, resting now in the peaceful cimetière de Broglie.
