Marie Curie and Lise Meitner, two pioneering women scientists, were both born on November 7th. Marie Curie, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and the only person to win it in two different sciences, was born in 1867. She also invented and drove X-ray ambulances. Lise Meitner, born in 1878, played a crucial role in identifying the element protactinium and the breakthrough discovery of nuclear fission.
128 years ago today, German Physics Professor Wilhelm Röntgen became curious about what was causing a faint green glow on a nearby fluorescent screen. What he had stumbled upon was what he would later refer to as X-rays, and the name stuck. 📸 Getty https://t.co/LAugcrnFjd
