Anthony Milner Lane (1928–2011) was a very important scientist. He was a nuclear physicist, which means he studied the tiny parts inside atoms. He worked in the Theoretical Physics Division at a place called the Atomic Energy and Research Establishment (AERE) in Harwell, England.

At AERE, scientists researched how to use atomic energy safely. Anthony Milner Lane was a "theoretical" physicist. This means he used math and ideas to understand how things work, rather than doing experiments in a lab.

In 1975, he was chosen to be a Fellow of the Royal Society. This is a huge honor for scientists in the United Kingdom. It means he was recognized as one of the best scientists in his field.
