William Bragg

William Bragg was a British physicist and Nobel laureate known for his work in X-ray crystallography. He, along with his father, William Henry Bragg, developed a method to determine the atomic structure of crystals by analyzing the pattern of X-rays reflected from them. This groundbreaking technique allows scientists to see the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, improving our understanding of materials, minerals, and biological molecules like DNA. Bragg’s work revolutionized fields like chemistry and biology by providing a way to visualize the unseen structures at the atomic level.
