Karl Manne Georg Siegbahn
Karl Manne Georg Siegbahn (1886 - 1978) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1924 for his discoveries and researches into X-ray spectroscopy. . Some attempt is made to look at the physics behind ...
Henry Moseley
A British chemist who studied under Rutherford and brilliantly developed the application of X-ray spectra to study atomic structure; his discoveries resulted in a more accurate positioning of ...
Maurice Wilkins
Maurice Wilkins (1916 - ) work focused on the X-ray diffraction studies of DNA. The discovery of the well-defined patterns led to the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA.
X-rays
NASA overview on x-rays describing what they are and how they can be used for x-ray astronomy and medical imaging.
CAT Scans: An Overview
Computed Axial Tomography is the process of using computers to generate a three-dimensional image from flat (i.e, two-dimensional) x-ray pictures, one slice at a time. A simple, clear explanation of ...
