William Lawrence Bragg was a physicist and X-ray crystallographer whose discovery of the so-called Bragg equation in 1912 opened the way to structural analysis of crystals by X-rays. The son and collaborator of William H. Bragg, with whom he shared the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics, Bragg established experimental methods that made it possible to measure atomic spacings and the properties of X-radiation, consolidating crystallography as a scientific tool. During the First World War he applied physical knowledge to locating artillery through sound-ranging techniques, developing detectors that saw wide adoption and earning him military honors. In the interwar period and after the Second World War he held prominent academic and administrative posts — among them the chair at Manchester, the directorship of the National Physical Laboratory, and later the directorship of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. As a leader, Bragg promoted organizing work into small research groups, encouraging collective investigation that culminated in decisive advances, including in the context of elucidating the structure of DNA in 1953, when he headed the Cavendish. His legacy remains in crystallography, experimental instrumentation, and the formation of research centers that established techniques essential to physics, chemistry and molecular biology.
