German physicist Max von Laue was born #OTD in 1879.
He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1914 for his discovery of the diffraction of X rays in crystals. This enabled scientists to study the structure of crystals and hence marked the origin of solid-state physics, an important field in the development of modern electronics. He also had a number of administrative positions which advanced and guided German scientific research and development during four decades.
