Its the birthday of Bertram Brockhouse, who was born in 1918 in Lethbridge, Alberta. After earning degrees in physics at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, Brockhouse joined the staff of Canadas Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory. There, in the 1950s and 60s, Brockhouse developed the use of neutron beams from nuclear reactors to study the atomic structure of crystals. Four decades later, he and fellow neutron diffraction pioneer Clifford Shull were awarded the Nobel physics prize for their innovation.
