July 11th-Dutch-American physicist Samuel Abraham Goudsmit was born on this day in 1902

He introduced the concept of electron spin along with George Eugene Uhlenbeck in 1925. This phenomenon explains many aspects of atomic behaviour that cannot be explained by classical physics. During World War II he worked at the Massachusetts Institute of technology. He was also the scientific head of the Alsos Mission and successfully reached the German group of nuclear physicists around Werner Heisenberg  and Otto Hahn at Hechingen.
