Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845 - 1923) discovered X rays, for which he received the first Nobel Prize for physics in 1901. He observed that barium platinocyanide crystals across the room fluoresced whenever he turned on a Crooke's, or cathode-ray discharge, tube, even when the tube was shielded by thin metal sheets. Roentgen correctly hypothesized that a previously unknown form of radiation of very short wavelength was involved, and that these X rays (a term he coined) caused the crystals to glow. He later demonstrated the metallurgical and medical use of X rays which later brough a revolution the medical science..
Wilhelm Roentgen is perhaps most famous for his discovery of Roentgen Rays or more commnly known as the X-Ray.
Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895, which allowed for the visualization of the internal structures of objects, including the human body. This discovery revolutionized medicine and led to significant advancements in medical imaging techniques. Roentgen's work laid the foundation for the field of radiology and contributed to our understanding of atomic structures.
NO
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered X-rays while experimenting with cathode ray tubes. In recognition of his feat, IUPAC named a new element, Roentgenium, after him.

1923
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen invented it
X-rays were discovered by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (27 March 1845 - 10 February 1923) on 8 November 1895, when he produced and detectedelectromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range.
