Sir William Lawrence Bragg, a distinguished British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, is renowned for his discovery of Bragg’s law of X-ray diffraction in 1912. His groundbreaking work in crystal structure analysis using X-rays led to him and his father being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915. Bragg’s significant contributions greatly advanced the field of X-ray crystallography. He was later knighted in 1941 and played a crucial role as the director of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge during the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953.
