100 years after it was first developed, crystallography is still a driving force of scientific discovery and innovation. Revealing the hidden structure and beauty of materials, it gives an insight into the invisible.
This film from Diamond Light Source celebrates the work and lives of Sir William Henry Bragg and his son, Sir William Lawrence Bragg. Together, they established a new scientific discipline. A son with the theoretical understanding and father with the experimental technique to harness this knowledge.
The technique emerged a century ago, but its power to reveal the minutiae of matter is as strong today as it was then. This film journeys through the key experiments and insights from 1912, and the torrent of discoveries that followed. With interviews and commentaries from leading scientists and historians of today, it is an exploration of the scientific and human story behind the past, present and future of one of the most important ever developments in science.

I feel so grateful to watch such an amazing video. It gives me the idea what is crystallography really about. The human story and history behind the crystallography are the best part of the video.
Thankyou very much. Please put captions also
11:00 I can't get enough of this fella
RIP..Davide Viterbo he seemed like a nice guy
Brilliant. Long have I been fascinated by the work of Diamond. Thank you.
Incredibly well done video.
Absolutely fantastic!!!! Personally it gives me a sense of belonging to large family of crystallographers and adds even more meaning to what I do and love so much.
Excellent film, thanks
That was excellent! Thank You.
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing :-)
Thank you so much that was superb!
That was fantastic I am sorry that I missed the exhibition.
This was amazing, thanks for this material.
12:47 Bragg's Law.
Absolutely Fabulous!
I just turned my first materials science lab on x-ray diffraction! It is Interesting how this can be applied to biological structures.
Proud of you Sir Bragg..
What is the relationship of optical emission spectrography, an older science, in how this was conceived. Good info, ty
"There are seven basic shapes of crystals in nature, and a multitude of colours. The shapes have always fascinated men, as figures in space and as descriptions of matter; the Greeks thought their elements were actually shaped like the regular solids. And it is true in modern terms that the crystals in nature express something about the atoms that compose them: they help to put the atoms into families. This is the world of physics in our own century, and crystals are a first opening into that world." - Jacob Bronowski
Glazer is actually very well known in his own right in the worlds of crystallography and solid state chemistry.
Awesome video, thank you. Perhaps the future will see parallel structure determination and functional interactions among the molecules using computer generated models that execute the endless possible interactions of biomolecules and this may lead to one day visualizing consciousness and other complex emergent properties of biology.
My grandfather’s last name was Bragg. I’m probably related to them.
..............................................it's ok.
Why did UA-cam throw this into my algorithm? Of course, the reason is that algorithms predicted I'd like this. Scary because I would have predicted I wouldn't like this one so much. That means UA-cam and Google knows me better than I do.
Hey UA-cam and Google: You might be right but you're hurting my self esteem. I'd feel like more of a man if you recommended I watch videos about monster trucks, boxing, or assault weapons.
Until you listen to me, I'll be subscribing to The Royal Institution.

My last name is Braggs so what would this mean ?
Amusing how the father still has the Victorian accent yet his son has a 20th century accent
eyyyyyy macarena

You know you're in a limited field of science when all they have to talk about is the past.....nothing to look forward to like your geologist buddies!
+Green EB I'm sorry that your expectations were not met, but I think you may have misunderstood the content, the clue being in the title: 'A Century of'.
You're saying this on a vid of someones legacy cause it would be the past
