Wilhelm Conrad Rtgen: A Shining Life for Science (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783030722425)

The editor Uwe Busch is a medical physicist and director of the German Rtgen Museum (Deutsches Rtgen-Museum). Together with the newly designed birthplace of Wilhelm Conrad Rtgen, both museums offer a captivating insight into Rtgen's life and work as well as the experience of discovering the fascinating world of X-rays. A world that spans many spatial and temporal dimensions, from the nanoworlds of the microcosm to the infinite expanses of the cosmos and from the past to the future. All the world is full of X-rays. Making good use of Rtgen's discovery is and remains the goal of science today and tomorrow.

Wilhelm Conrad Rtgen would have had fun doing just that: committing to research to broaden one's horizons, finding profound joy in gaining knowledge and discovering the wonders of natural science for the benefit of humankind.
