	Max Planck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (April 23, 1858 – October 4, 1947) was one of the most important German physicists of the late 19th and early 20th century; he is considered to be the inventor of quantum theory.
		Max Planck was born in Kiel on April 23, 1858 to Johann Julius Wilhelm Planck and his second wife, Emma Patzig.
		Max Born wrote about Planck: "He was by nature and by the tradition of his family conservative, averse to revolutionary novelties and sceptical towards speculations.

	Max von Laue Biography / Biography of Max von Laue Main Biography
		The German physicist Max von Laue (1879-1960) was the first to use x-rays to study the arrangement of atoms in crystals.
		Max Theodor Felix von Laue was born on October 9, 1879, in Pfaffendorf, Germany.
		Subsequent research led von Laue to refine his study of x-ray interference and to explore the phenomenon of super-conductivity whereby certain metals lose virtually all of their resistance to the flow of an electric current at temperatures approaching absolute zero (-273.16 C).

	Max Von Laue Biography / Biography of Max Von Laue 1900 To 1949: Physical Sciences Biography
		Max von Laue is best known for his work with the diffraction of x rays by crystalline solids, including the determination of the molecular structures of crystalline materials.
		Laue further established that the pattern of the diffracted beams is a property of the individual crystal and is related to the spacing of the atoms in the crystal.
		Laue is regarded as the founder of crystallography and as one of the founders of solid-state physics.

	Max von Laue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Max von Laue (October 9, 1879 - April 24, 1960) was a German physicist, who studied under Max Planck.
		For this work, which also made possible a closer study of crystal structure (a method called X-ray crystallography), he received the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physics.
		When Germany invaded Denmark in World War II, the Hungarian chemist George de Hevesy dissolved the gold Nobel Prizes of Max von Laue and James Franck into aqua regia to prevent the Nazis from stealing them.

		Max Laue was born on October 9, 1879 at Pfaffendorf, near Koblenz.
		He was the son of Julius von Laue, an official in the German military administration, who was raised to hereditary nobility in 1913 and who was often sent to various towns, so that von Laue spent his youth in Brandenburg, Altona, Posen, Berlin and Strassburg, going to school in the three last-named cities.

	Laue (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Laue is a lunar impact crater that lies across the south-southwestern rim and interior floor of the huge Lorentz impact basin.
		The remainder of the floor is relatively level, but is marked by a number of tiny craterlets.
		By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Laue crater.

	Max von Laue
		Max von Laue was born in Koblenz, Germany, in 1879.
		Laue was a pioneer in measuring the wavelength of X-rays by their diffraction through the closely spaced atoms in a crystal.
		In 1940 Laue refused to join the German atomic bomb research team led by Werner Heisenberg and in 1943 resigned from the institute in protest against the policies of Adolf Hitler.

		Max von Laue (1879-1960) wagered a bet that x-rays were electromagnetic waves that could be refracted by crystals.
		Soon after that, von Laue proposed a theory to describe the conditions for diffraction, and in England, the Braggs, William Henry Bragg (1862-1942) and William Lawrence Bragg (1890-1971), father and son, began their work on crystal structure analysis.
		We owe to Max von Laue (1879-1960) the suggestion that x-rays have a wavelength of the same order of magnitude as the distance between atoms in crystals, and the first demonstration that this distance can be calculated from the interference produced.

		In 1912, Max Von Laue discovered that x-rays could be diffracted by objects by the same order of size as atoms.
		Inspired by the work of von Laue, William Bragg and his son Lawrence, then a research student at Cambridge, established the principles of x-ray crystallography and determined the structure of simple crystals.
		Max Perutz and John Kendrew drew on the technology being developed nearby on the New Museums Site, used the digital electronic computer EDSAC to help with their crystallographic calculations.

		The son of an army official, Max von Laue lived in a number of cities during his childhood, as his father's changing assignments prompted the family's frequent moves.
		Laue believed that Röntgen's rays must be similar to the transverse electromagnetic waves in light; what he (and the rest of the scientific community) lacked was a method for verifying his belief.
		Laue was never particularly concerned with the actual applications of his discovery.
