The X-ray was discovered by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895. He stumbled upon this groundbreaking form of radiation while experimenting with cathode rays and noticed that a fluorescent screen in his lab began to glow even though it was not in the direct path of the rays. Röntgen's discovery led to significant advancements in medical imaging and diagnostics. He later received the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901 for his work on X-rays.
