One of the truly great tragedies in the history of science was the death of Henry G. J. Moseley on August 10, 1915, in Gallipoli, Turkey. Moseley had enlisted in the Royal Engineers at the outbreak of World War I and had sailed for Turkey on June 15,...

1887-1915 English physicist who derived the relationship between an element's x-ray wavelengths and atomic number—Moseley's Law. This allowed him to assign characteristic numbers to each element and order them into a periodic...

Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley (November 23, 1887 – August 10, 1915) was an English physicist. His main contributions to science were the quantitative justification of the previously empirical concept of atomic number, and Moseley's law. This law...
