Lawrence Bragg
Sir William Lawrence Bragg, CH, OBE, MC, FRS[1] (31 Mac 1890 - 1 Julai 1971) ialah seorang ahli fizik dan pengkristalografi X-ray British kelahiran Australia, penemu (1912) hukum Bragg difraksi sinar-X, yang asas bagi penentuan struktur kristal. Beliau ialah pemenang bersama (bersama bapanya, William Henry Bragg) dari Hadiah Nobel dalam Fizik pada tahun 1915: "Untuk perkhidmatan mereka dalam analisis struktur kristal melalui sinar-X",[2] langkah penting dalam pembangunan kristalografi sinar-X.
Bragg dikurniakan kesatria pada tahun 1941.[3] Pada tahun 2018, beliau ialah pemenang Nobel termuda dalam fizik, setelah menerima penghargaan pada usia 25 tahun.[4] Bragg ialah pengarah Makmal Cavendish, Cambridge, ketika penemuan struktur DNA dilaporkan oleh James D. Watson dan Francis Crick pada Februari 1953.
