Pioneers in Radiation Detection

Pioneers in radiation detection are scientists and inventors who developed the early devices to identify and measure radiation, such as gamma rays and particles. Their work enabled us to understand radioactive materials, improve safety in nuclear industries, and advance medical imaging technologies. Notable figures include Henri Becquerel, who discovered radioactivity, and Wilhelm Röntgen, who invented the X-ray. Their innovations laid the groundwork for modern radiation detection tools, helping us monitor radiation levels accurately and safely manage its uses across medicine, industry, and research.
