Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (27 March 1845 – 10 February 1923) was a German physicist who is best known for his discovery of X-rays. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
In 1901, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics “in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him.” He was the first person to receive this prestigious award in physics.
His discovery of X-rays had a profound impact on medical diagnosis and treatment. X-rays allowed doctors to see inside the human body and detect diseases and injuries that were previously invisible. X-ray technology has since been developed and refined, and it remains an essential tool in modern medicine.
His legacy also extends to the field of physics. His discovery of X-rays led to the development of new technologies and techniques for studying the structure and properties of matter. His work paved the way for advancements in nuclear physics, atomic energy, and other areas of research
