Guglielmo Marconi shared the 1909 Physics Prize for his "contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy". In the late 1800s Marconi was able to use recently discovered radio waves to transmit signals across the English Channel, from Britain to France. #WorldRadioDay
On December 12, 1901, Italian engineer and inventor Guglielmo Marconi sent the first #radio signals across the Atlantic Ocean. The signal was sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, and was received as the Morse code letter for “S” 2,100 miles away in Newfoundland, Canada. #TBT
Happy National Radio Day! We salute Heinrich Hertz, Guglielmo Marconi, and Nikola Tesla for bringing this magical form of communication and entertainment to the world. Make sure you listen to a favorite station today. Here is a famous photo of the great inventor Tesla at work:
The Italian-born inventor of the radio Guglielmo Marconi had an Irish mother from one very famous Irish family. #NationalRadioDay
Guglielmo Marconi broadcast the first transatlantic radio signal, 119 years ago in 1901. #FCC101 #NationalRadioDay
Jun 15, 1920 - Operatic soprano Nellie Melba became history's first well-known broadcaster when she sang two arias from a studio at Guglielmo Marconi's factory in Chelmsford, Essex in England. The performance was sponsored by The Daily Mail newspaper #100yearsago
Happy birthday Guglielmo Marconi! In celebration of this day, we bring you a brief history of radio and wireless technology from Marconi’s early demonstrations in the 1890s to the beginning of regular public broadcasting in the 1920s. #Marconi
We know Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi best for... wireless? As it turns out, the word “radio” that we now use to describe his work didn’t appear until more than a decade later, and has a NISTy origin. #MarconiDay
On 27 March 1899, Marconi Guglielmo transmitted a long-distance wireless telegraph across the English Channel from Wimereux near Boulogne, France to South Foreland Lighthouse near Dover, England 🏴. In 1899, wireless telegraphy was adopted by British Royal and Merchant Navies.
The invention of the radio is generally attributed to Guglielmo Marconi—but in reality, it was a process that involved multiple people and several decades. Today is @UNESCO 's #WorldRadioDay .
