I've been almost onto the University campus today. Not to my office but for a research group meeting outside a local cafe. Great to see the group. There have been some changes on campus. The new Bragg Centre looks like its finished and combines the old Mining building here on the left, with a new super expensive building on the right. A key part is the building foundations which have to be vibration proof for sensitive spectroscopy equipment to function.
The Leeds Bragg was the older father and was the Cavendish chair of physics at the University from 1909 until 1915. With his son, Lawrence Bragg, he founded X-ray crystallography, the analysis of crystal structure using X-ray diffraction.
