  4. Lived 1890 – 1971. Lawrence Bragg discovered how to ‘see’ the positions of atoms in solids. His discovery has had an enormous impact on chemistry, biology, and mineralogy. Bragg showed how X-rays passing through a crystal collect information allowing the crystal’s atomic structure to be deduced.

  5. Sir Lawrence Bragg, who died on July 1 1971 aged 81, had the unique distinction of having himself created the science to which he devoted his life's work, and lived long enough to experience its revolutionary impact, first on inorganic chemistry and mineralogy, then on metallurgy, and finally on organic chemistry and biochemistry.
