About the Braggs
William Henry and William Lawrence Bragg
The Bragg Institute is named as a tribute to the father-and-son-team of William (1862-1942) and Lawrence (1890-1971) 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.
