Henry Moseley is regarded as one of the most important scientific heroes that never was. Just one year after solving one of chemistry’s greatest conundrums, he was killed in action at Gallipoli in World War One. His contribution to science is a lasting legacy, and his work underpins one of the key techniques used in modern science to understand the atomic make-up of materials. This film, created by Diamond Light Source, celebrates his life and work, and is followed by a panel discussion with leading scientists who rely on Moseley’s legacy to carry out their research today.
