Bragg Centenary
Bragg Centenary: http://crystallography.org.uk/bragg-centenary/
"In 2013 it will be 100 years since the pioneering work undertaken by
William Henry Bragg and his son, William Lawrence Bragg, which
underpins the discipline of X-ray crystallography, and for which they
were jointly awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915. By formulating
the relationship between a crystal’s atomic structure and its X-ray
diffraction pattern they provided a tool which has revolutionised our
understanding of the structure of matter ranging from minerals,
pharmaceutical materials, and catalysts to DNA, proteins and viruses."
