William Lawrence Bragg (1890–1971) was an Australian-born British physicist who, at age 25, became the youngest Nobel laureate in science for his work on X-ray crystallography, shared with his father William Henry Bragg. He pioneered the use of X-rays to determine atomic structures, transforming mineralogy, chemistry, and biology, and later led the Cavendish Laboratory, fostering discoveries like the structure of DNA.
