Sir William Henry Bragg OM KBE PRS (2 July 1862 – 12 March 1942) was a British physicist, chemist, mathematician and active sportsman who uniquely shared a Nobel Prize with his son William Lawrence Bragg – the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics: "for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays". The mineral Braggite is named after him and his son. He was knighted in 1920.
Bragg was born at Westward near Wigton, Cumberland, the son of Robert John Bragg, a merchant marine officer and farmer, and his wife Mary née Wood, a clergyman's daughter. When Bragg was seven years old, his mother died, and he was raised by his uncle, also named William Bragg, at Market Harborough, Leicestershire. He was educated at the Old Grammar School there, at King William's College on the Isle of Man and, having won an exhibition (scholarship), at Trinity College, Cambridge. He graduated in 1884 as third wrangler, and in 1885 was awarded a first class honours in the mathematical tripos.

William Lawrence Bragg
The diffraction pattern of a protein crystal
Sir William Henry Bragg discusses the molecular structures of crystals and the uses of X-rays to examine them. Bragg and his son William Lawrence Bragg won the 1915 Nobel in physics for this research. Part 1 of a four reel set - of which, unfortunately, we have only the first reel.

The scientific and human story behind the past, present and future of one of the most important ever developments in science. Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe 100 years after it was first developed, crystallography is still a driving force of scientific discovery and innovation. Revealing the hidden structure and beauty of materials, it gives an insight into the invisible. This film from Diamond Light Source celebrates the work and lives of Sir William Henry Bragg and his son, Sir William Lawrence Bragg. Together, they established a new scientific discipline. A son with the theoretical understanding and father with the experimental technique to harness this knowledge. The technique emerged a century ago, but its power to reveal the minutiae of matter is a...
THE WORLD OF SOUND, by Sir William Henry Bragg - FULL LENGTH AUDIOBOOK The World of Sound consists of six lectures delivered before a juvenile audience at the Royal Institution, Christmas 1919. The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures are a series of lectures on a single topic, which have been held at the Royal Institution in London each year since 1825, except several years during the Second World War. The lectures present scientific subjects to a general audience, including young people, in an informative and entertaining manner. Michael Faraday initiated the first Christmas Lecture series in 1825, at a time when organised education for young people was scarce. This series of lectures is still interesting for its basic explanation of sound and hearing, and the history of the research i...

William Lawrence Bragg Sir William Lawrence Bragg CH, OBE, MC, FRS (31 March 1890 – 1 July 1971) was an Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer (1912) of Bragg's law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure.He was joint winner (with his father, William Henry Bragg) of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915: "For their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-ray", an important step in the development of X-ray crystallography. -Video is targeted to blind users Attribution: Article text available under CC-BY-SA image source in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmtWnwXNs4w
2014 is the international year of crystallography, the one hundredth anniversary of great achievements in crystallography. Max Theodor Felix von Laue was awarded the Nobel prize in physics in 1914 for his discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals. In 1915, sir William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg won the Nobel prize for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays.Thanks to many crystallographers including Laue and Braggs, now we can investigate the detailed atomic structures of a number of minerals, chemicals, biomolecules, and whatever forms a crystal. Here, the diffraction pattern of a protein crystal is shown. Protein crystallography has been applied to studying living systems and discovering new drugs. Undoubtedly, crystals look beautiful. ...
since you leftthere's been some dissention in the ranks
bad news from above
they're closing all the banks
more or less
it happens to the best
you were in The War
the never-ending test
you built ships from blood and steel
proved that World War II was real
i built a bagpipe that had gills
your ghost said 'feed it to the seals'
in the sea
there's a 40 fathom tree
if you try to peel the bark
you start to look like he
back at home
the waves have turned to foam
i built a statue out of sand
but the hands are made of chrome
you built ships from blood and steel
proved that World War II was real
