Max von Laue was born in Pfaffendorf, Germany on October 9, 1979. He died on April 23, 1960 in Berlin, Germany in a car accident. His full name is Max Theodor Felix von Laue and was born to Julius von Laue who was a German military official. Max was in the German army as well, from 1898-1899. In 1914, he won the Nobel Prize for his work in measuring the wavelengths of x-rays by their diffraction through the atoms of a crystal. Von Laue discovered the x-ray diffraction by crystals and this has impacted today's society in a big way because x-rays are used all the time today. Max von Laue studied at four different universities between 1898 and 1904. He worked at seven different universities between 1903 and 1958.
