 Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be given as Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (in English: "William Conrad Roentgen") (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.
Röntgen's name is usually given as "Roentgen" (an alternative German spelling) in English; therefore most scientific and medical references to him are found under this spelling.

W.K. Roentgen nacque nel 1845 da un’agiata famiglia di commercianti nella piccola città di Lennep, nella Germania nord-occidentale; dopo aver trascorso la maggior parte dell’infanzia nei Paesi Bassi, all’età di vent’anni si trasferì a Zurigo e tre anni dopo si diplomò in ingegneria presso la Technische Hochschule.
Dopo aver ricevuto il dottorato nel 1869, Roentgen ottenne una serie di incarichi come docente in varie università tedesche ed in collaborazione con Kundt compì attenti studi sul comportamento della materia; per esempio, fu il primo a dimostrare, con un termometro fatto in casa, che è più facile riscaldare l’aria umida che l’aria secca.
Roentgen aveva quarantatré anni quando divenne professore di fisica e direttore dell’Istituto di Fisica dell’Università di Wurzburg, una prospera cittadina bavarese; abitava con la moglie Bertha in un ampio appartamento al secondo piano dell’istituto che comprendeva uno studio comunicante con un laboratorio privato.
