in 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays.

While in his laboratory, Röntgen was perplexed by a fluorescent screen that was glowing for no apparent reason. It took weeks spent eating and sleeping in his lab to identify the cause of this mysterious glow – the X-ray.

The first X-ray image Röntgen took, of his wife Bertha's hand with her wedding ring clearly visible, is one of the most famous scientific images in history.

It propelled Röntgen into being an international celebrity and the medical implications of his discovery were immediately realised. Röntgen named the discovery X-radiation, or X-rays, after the mathematical term 'X' that denotes something unknown.

The discovery of X-rays earned Röntgen the very first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. Read more: https://bit.ly/34tgsBc
