Eighty years after his passing, we honor Hans Geiger, the brilliant physicist whose invention, the Geiger counter, forever changed our understanding of radiation and the invisible forces shaping our world. His work turned the unseen into measurable truth, empowering generations of scientists, doctors, and explorers. Geiger’s legacy lives on in every lab, classroom, and instrument that protects humanity from radiation. Today, we remember not only the scientist, but the visionary who taught us that precision and curiosity can illuminate the unknown.
