Sir William Lawrence Bragg, CH, OBE, MC, FRS [1] (31 March 1890 – 1 July 1971) was an Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer (1912) of Bragg's law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure. He was joint recipient (with his father, William Henry Bragg) of the Nobel Prize ...
1901: Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of X-rays; In 1901, Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics. The award was officially "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him". [21] Shy in public speaking, he declined to give a Nobel lecture.
Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin OM FRS HonFRSC [9][10] (née Crowfoot; 12 May 1910 – 29 July 1994) was a Nobel Prize -winning English chemist who advanced the technique of X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of biomolecules, which became essential for structural biology. [9][11]
The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to 224 individuals as of 2023. [5] The first prize in physics was awarded in 1901 to Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, of Germany, who received 150,782 SEK. John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice—in 1956 and 1972. William Lawrence Bragg was the youngest Nobel laureate in physics; he won the ...
Wilhelm Röntgen, who received the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the X-ray. Once the Nobel Foundation and its guidelines were in place, the Nobel Committees began collecting nominations for the inaugural prizes. Subsequently, they sent a list of preliminary candidates to the prize-awarding institutions.
Sir William Henry Bragg OM KBE FRS (2 July 1862 – 12 March 1942) was an English physicist, chemist, mathematician, and active sportsman who uniquely [1] shared a Nobel Prize with his son Lawrence Bragg – the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics: "for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays ".

Hermann Joseph Muller (December 21, 1890 – April 5, 1967) was an American geneticist who was awarded the 1946 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, "for the discovery that mutations can be induced by X-rays". [2] Muller warned of long-term dangers of radioactive fallout from nuclear war and nuclear testing, which resulted in greater public ...
