William et Lawrence Bragg, Père et Fils : la plus extraordinaire des collaborations scientifiques.

William and Lawrence Bragg, Father and son: the most extraordinary collaboration in science.

Auteurs : JENKIN J.

Type de monographie : Ouvrage

Résumé

In 1912, Lawrence Bragg explained the interaction of X-rays with crystals, and he and his father (William) thereby pioneered X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. They shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915 for their joint development of X-ray crystallography. This biography charts how this pair rose from obscurity io international prominence and then back to undeserved obscurity. It highlights the interactions between father and son that made their project possible, emphasizes personal, family, and wider human relationships, and offers new insights into teaching and research in a British colonial setting.
