Auguste Bravais (1811–1863) was a French physicist and botanist best known for his work in crystallography. He is most famous for developing the concept of Bravais lattices, which are a set of distinct lattice structures that describe how atoms are arranged in a crystalline solid. Bravais lattices help categorize crystals based on their symmetry and the arrangement of their constituent particles in three-dimensional space.
