Jean-Baptiste Perrin won the Nobel Prize for his studies of this phenomenon, which verified a theory developed by Einstein. Physicists had studied it since the 1860s, seeing in it an opportunity to corroborate the kinetic theory of matter and, later  , to prove the existence of atoms of definite size. The microscopic process underlying diffusion, it was first observed in 1827 by a Scottish botanist studying pollen grains suspended in water under a microscope.
