About Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (March 27, 1845 - February 10, 1923) was a German physicist, of the University of Würzburg, who, on November 8, 1895, produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range today known as x-rays or Röntgen rays, an achievement that earned him the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.

Röntgen's name is usually given as "Roentgen" (an alternative German spelling) in English; therefore most English scientific and medical references to him are found under this spelling.

The element roentgenium (formerly unununium) was named after him.
