Fifty years later, his discovery of the #XRay (also known as the #Roentgen ray) changed the world and laid the foundation of modern radiology. In 1901, he was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him."
