Sir William Lawrence Bragg, CH, OBE, MC, FRS (31 March 1890 – 1 July 1971) was an Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer (1912) of Bragg's law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure.
6 days ago · Sir Lawrence Bragg was an Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer (1912) of the Bragg law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure. He was joint winner (with his father, Sir William Bragg) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in.
W. Lawrence Bragg, who had been elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1921, was Director of the National Physical Laboratory in 1937-1938 and Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics, Cambridge, from 1938 to 1953. He was Chairman of the Frequency Advisory Committee from 1958 to 1960.
Lawrence Bragg discovered how to 'see' the positions of atoms in solids. His discovery has had an enormous impact on chemistry, biology, and mineralogy. Bragg showed how X-rays passing through a crystal collect information allowing the crystal's atomic structure to be deduced.
Nov 7, 2012 · A century ago this week, physicist Lawrence Bragg announced an equation that revolutionized fields from mineralogy to biology, writes John Meurig Thomas.
William Lawrence Bragg. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1915. Born: 31 March 1890, Adelaide, Australia. Died: 1 July 1971, Ipswich, United Kingdom. Affiliation at the time of the award: Victoria University, Manchester, United Kingdom.
Lawrence Bragg might have been the youngest ever Nobel Prize laureate, but being part of a father-and-son team meant it was years before he received true recognition for his seminal work in X-ray crystallography.
