Synopsis
New insights into the X‑rays that reshaped physics — a carefully edited collection that gathers the pioneering memoirs and major papers on Rontgen rays, from their discovery to the evolving theories that followed.
This volume offers original first communications, subsequent observations, and critical discussion by leading figures in early radioactivity and electromagnetism. It includes the most important experiments, biographical sketches, and bibliographic notes that illuminate how these unseen rays challenged existing ideas about light, matter, and energy.
- Read the first reports of X-rays and their striking properties
- Explore how researchers tested fluorescence, photography, and material transparency
- Examine debates about the nature of the rays, including competing theories and measurements
- See contemporary commentary, lectures, and biographical notes that framed the work
