*If you're like me, you learned in elementary school that it was Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi who invented radio. Yep, Marconi claimed he invented it and as a result even shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics.  But in 1943, only months after his death, the United States Supreme Court finally gave inventor Nikola Tesla recognition as the first to truly conceive of and patent the principles of radio (or what he called ‘World Telegraphy’). They struck down Marconi’s fundamental patent.   http://www.nikolateslatour.com/blog/2012/05/26/did-guglielmo-marconi-or-nikola-tesla-invent-radio/
