Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (/ ˈ r ɛ n t ɡ ə n,-dʒ ə n, ˈ r ʌ n t-/; [4] German: [ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈʁœntɡən] ⓘ; anglicized as Roentgen; 27 March 1845 – 10 February 1923) was a German physicist [5] who produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range known as X-rays.
Röntgen Memorial Site, Röntgenring 8, Würzburg. The Röntgen Memorial Site in Würzburg, Germany, is dedicated to the work of the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845–1923) and his discovery of X-rays, for which he was granted the first Nobel Prize in physics, in 1901.

1895: Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovers x-rays. 1896: Henri Becquerel discovers radioactivity; 1896: Svante Arrhenius derives the basic principles of the greenhouse effect; 1897: J.J. Thomson discovers the electron in cathode rays
In early 1896, there was a wave of excitement following Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen's discovery of X-rays on 5 January. During the experiment, Röntgen "found that the Crookes tubes he had been using to study cathode rays emitted a new kind of invisible ray that was capable of penetrating through black paper". [8]
Radiation protection continued to develop with the invention of new measuring devices such as the chromoradiometer by Guido Holzknecht (1872-1931) in 1902, [22] the radiometer by Raymond Sabouraud (1864-1938) and Henri Noiré (1878–1937) [23] in 1904/05, and the quantimeter by Robert Kienböck (1873-1951) in 1905, [24] which made it possible ...
1895 – Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovers X-rays in experiments with electron beams in plasma. [ 1 ] 1896 – Antoine Henri Becquerel accidentally discovers radioactivity while investigating the work of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen ; he finds that uranium salts emit radiation that resembled Röntgen's X-rays in their penetrating power.
