Talk:Karl Ferdinand Braun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Take Ferdinand Braun, for example, the man who discovered rectification in crystals. Later he received the Nobel Prize along with Marconi. He had three great discoveries. One was crystal rectification, which is the seat of the useful properties of semiconductors. He invented the electron tube that today is the basis for that employed in television sets. And then he's the one who, after Marconi got stuck and couldn't transmit more than fifteen kilometers, noted that the circuitry Marconi was using was wrong. [1]
[edit] Braun tube
"The CRT is still called the "Braun tube" in German-speaking countries." ...doesn't sound very German? 194.70.193.179 07:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually very few people call it "Braun'sche Röhre" here in Germany. The vast majority simply calls it "Bildröhre", similar to CRT in English.
