The first to unknowingly produce X-ray
Time: 1785
Place: London, England, United Kingdom
Details: The earliest experimenter thought to have (unknowingly) produced X-rays was actuary William Morgan. In 1785 he presented a paper to the Royal Society of London describing the effects of passing electrical currents through a partially evacuated glass tube, producing a glow created by X-rays. This work was further explored by Humphry Davy and his assistant Michael Faraday.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
