Abstract

The article in Science News commemorates the 130th anniversary of the discovery of X-rays by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895. Röntgen's wife, Anna Bertha Ludwig, played a crucial role in the discovery by allowing him to capture an image of her hand using the new technology. This breakthrough led to the widespread adoption of X-rays in medical practice and earned Röntgen the first Nobel Prize in physics. Over the years, X-rays have significantly impacted various scientific fields, including astronomy and biology. [Extracted from the article]
