  1. Happy birthday to Wilhem Röntgen (1845-1923), the German physicist who discovered x-rays and earned the Nobel Prize for physics in 1901. I’ve depicted him in this thermochromic portrait at work, studying this mysterious, newly discovered, invisible form of light, based on a photograph of him in his lab, using a Crookes tube to produce x-rays. The form of the print mimics the nature of his discovery -

  2. In #Neuwied sind wir spontan wieder ausgestiegen und haben uns erstmal in den nächsten kleinen Park gesetzt.
    Naja, eher eine kleine Grünfläche.

    20 Meter neben unserer Parkbank ein Denkmal für Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen. Und direkt gegenüber sehen wir das "#Roentgen-Museum Neuwied".

    Röntgen-Museum...und am Samstag freier Eintritt?

    Na, klar!
    Unten eine kleine Ausstellung zu Herrn #Raiffeisen.
    Den Spruch kenn ich doch irgendwoher... 🤔

  4. Today's the 100th death anniversary of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.
    He discovered x-rays in 1895 and was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics for this discovery in 1901.
    He didn't claim a patent for his discovery which paved the way for quick worldwide usage in medical diagnostics.

    Apparently #18Century #writers did things a little differently ...

    Behold the incredibly elaborate #writing #desks of father & son team of #Roentgen #cabinetmakers.

  7. Antaŭ 127 jaroj hodiaŭ, W.C. #Roentgen malkovris antaŭe nekonatan tipon de radiado. Li poste ricevis la nobelpremion pro tio — kiel la nura persono ĝis nun kiu ne havis mezlernejan diplomon. Tamen li studis en la Politekniko en Zuriko, ĉar tie estis decida alira ekzameno kaj ne pruvo de diplomo.
