    Werner Braunbeck

    Werner Braunbek (German: Werner Braunbek; 8 January 1901 – 9 February 1977) was a German
    physicist.[1]

    He was born in Bautzen, the son of the Government Commissioner of City Planning Otto August
    Braunbek (1869–1929). Werner attended the University of Stuttgart, the University of Munich and the
    University of Berlin. In 1925, he received a doctorate in engineering and completed his habilitation in
    theoretical physics the following year at the University of Stuttgart, where he continued as a lecturer.

    In 1932, Braunbek became Associate Professor at the University of Stuttgart, before replacing Alfred
    Landé in 1936 as Professor of theoretical physics at the University of Tübingen, and succeeding to the
    role of Professor in 1959. In 1961 and 1962, he served as Dean of Mathematical and Natural Sciences of
    the University of Tübingen.

    In 1934, Braunbek developed the Braunbek coil, a modified Helmholtz coil. In 1939, he disproved
    Earnshaw's theorem by showing that there are magnetic fields in which small diamagnetic bodies can
    float in a stable position.[2] He pioneered study into the diffraction of waves, particularly at short
    wavelengths. Braunbek also authored a number of popular science physics books.

    He died in Tübingen, aged 76.
