	William Lawrence Bragg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bragg's law makes it possible to calculate the positions of the atoms within a crystal from the way in which an X-ray beam is diffracted by the crystal lattice.
		Bragg subsequently successfully lobbied for and nominated Crick, Watson and Wilkins for the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine; Wilkins' share recognised the contribution made by King's College London, under Sir John Randall, to the determination of the structure of DNA and its subsequent validation by the KCL staff.
		Bragg received both the Copley Medal and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society, and in 1967 was made a Companion of Honour by the Queen.

	William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg
		William Henry's mother died when he was just seven years old, and he was sent to live with a bachelor uncle, whose place he regarded as home during his years away at school and at Cambridge University.
		William Henry's original interest was in what diffraction showed about the nature of X-rays, and he was a skilled experimenter and designer of instruments.
		William Lawrence was more concerned with what X-rays revealed about the crystalline state, and he possessed a powerful ability to conceptualize physical problems and express them mathematically.

		Bragg was director of the research department in which Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA
		It describes how Bragg discovered the use of X-rays to determine the arrangement of atoms in crystals and his pivotal role in developing this technique to the point that structures of the most complex molecules known to Man - the proteins and nucleic acids - could be solved.
		Although Bragg's Nobel Prize was for physics, his research profoundly affected chemistry and the new field of molecular biology, of which he became a founding figure.

		The Bragg Institute is named as a tribute to the father and son team of William and Lawrence Bragg, who were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 for their work in founding a new branch of science of great significance and importance — the analysis of crystal structure.
		Neutrons and x-rays are complementary tools, both at the forefront of understanding structure, and ANSTO staff frequently use both to solve complex problems.
		It is intended that through the Bragg Institute, extensive linkages will be forged between ANSTO and other national and international organisations — with joint staff and and project teams and shared students.
