Edited by - Vinuri Randhula Silva,
The first Nobel Prize in Physics, given in 1901, was awarded to Wilhelm Röntgen for the discovery of the X-ray.
Röntgen discovered a new type of radiation in 1895 that would be subsequently named after him, but he always preferred the term X-rays – from the mathematical designation for something unknown – as no one understood what these remarkable rays actually were.
We'll find out who has been awarded this year's prize in just a couple of weeks time.
