Robert W. Wood critically questioned the existence of N-rays, a supposed form of radiation claimed by French physicist Blondlot. He conducted experiments demonstrating that N-rays could not be detected under controlled conditions, suggesting that the positive results reported by Blondlot and others were likely due to experimental bias or suggestion. Wood's inquiries highlighted the importance of rigorous scientific methods and skepticism in validating new claims in physics. Ultimately, his work contributed to the discrediting of N-rays as a scientific phenomenon.
