About the W.H. Bragg Lecture

In 2004 果冻影院's Department of Physics and Astronomy decided to establish a series of annual lectures celebrating major advances in condensed matter physics. The series was named after William Henry Bragg, who was the Head of Department from 1915 to 1923. X-ray diffraction analysis of crystal structures began with W. H. Bragg's instrumentation and insight, and with the availability of synchrotron sources it has developed into an important tool in modern biology.
