Wilhelm Conrad R?ntgen
In 1901 he became the first recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics, which he immediately transferred to the Institute of Physics at the University of Würzburg for the purchase of additional equipment. Since then, according to incomplete statistics, he received no less than 150 honors during his lifetime and after his death, and it is difficult to put a value on R?ntgen's achievements.
R?ntgen's work was done in humble surroundings. A small studio with a large table under the window, a wooden shelf with everyday objects to the left, a fireplace in front, and a high-voltage discharge apparatus to the right, this is where the first human X-ray test was performed.
Renqin was modest and prudent throughout his life, never taking credit for his work, and he taught and conducted research as an ordinary member. His X-ray research work is remarkably complete at the current level. He declined the title of nobility, did not apply for patents, did not seek sponsorship, and enabled the rapid development and popularization of the use of X-rays.
The R?ntgen Experience
In 1894, he was elected president of the McMillan University in Würzburg. At this time European physicists and R?ntgen were working on vacuum discharge phenomena and cathode rays. R?ntgen saw cathode rays when high voltage current was passed through the vacuum tube at the height of Crookes, and blue-white fluorescence occurred when electrons touched the wall of the tube, and it was also found that there was fluorescence outside the glass tube.
Thereupon, the question arose, perhaps this is an unknown ray invisible to the naked eye. Only the truly attentive and conscientious people can notice and further explore this subtle change.
Applications of x-rays
X-rays are used in medical diagnostics, therapeutic medicine, and industry. We are most familiar with the medical use of x-rays, which are the most widely known way of examining a part of the human body and were the first non-invasive visceral examination techniques to be used. The Chandra X-ray Observatory, one of the ten great engineering wonders of the modern world, was also invented on the basis of x-rays.
Now we need to thank his discoverer, Prof. R?ntgen, for the great medical and industrial advances, without whose efforts x-rays might not have been introduced so early. At the same time, Mr. Tesla should be given credit for the discovery of x-rays, even if he did not make them available to the world.
Introduction to the Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize (Swedish: Nobelpriset, English: NobelPrize) refers to the five prizes established in accordance with Nobel's will of 1895, including: the Prize for Physics, the Prize for Chemistry, the Prize for Peace, the Prize for Physiology or Medicine, and the Prize for Literature, which is intended to honor the work done in the field of Physics, Chemistry, Peace, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature, to recognize those who have made the "greatest contribution to humanity"; and the Nobel Prize in Economics, established by the Swedish Central Bank in 1968 to recognize outstanding contributions in the field of economics.
The Nobel Prizes were first awarded in 1901, including: the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Nobel Prize in Peace, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Nobel Prize in Literature. 1968, the Central Bank of Sweden added the "Central Bank of Sweden in Memory of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences", which was awarded for the first time in 1969, and people are accustomed to call this additional prize the Nobel Prize in Economics. The selection committee for the Nobel Prize is usually the same as the selection committee for the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize Selection Committee usually announces the winner in October each year. The prize is awarded at ceremonies held by the king in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and Oslo, the capital of Norway, on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.On Sept. 24, 2020, Nobel Foundation President Lars Heckenstern said that the Nobel Prize award for 2020 would be increased to 10 million Swedish kronor (about $1.1 million).
Selected and awarded annually, the Nobel Prize consists of a gold medal, a certificate, and a prize, according to the official website of the Nobel Prize. As of 2019, **** has been awarded to 919 individuals and 24 groups, with four individuals as well as one group winning twice and one group winning three times.
