Edison, Thomas Alva (1847-1931) American inventor and holder of hundreds of patents who invented the phonograph, the tape ticker for notifying stock exchange prices, the carbon granule microphone, the incandescent electric lamp, and the thermionic diode. His example, and that of the economic benefits of technological advance, led to the creation of the modem research laboratory. 

It is little known that Thomas Alva Edison tried to achieve cathodic protection of ships with impressed current in 1890 however, the sources of current and anodic materials available to him were inadequate. In 1902, K. Cohen achieved practical cathodic protection using impressed direct current. The manager of urban works at... 

Thomas Alva Edison, is the archetype of American ingenuity and inventiveness. He played a critical role in the early commercialization of electric power. He designed the first commercial incandescent electric light and power system and his laboratory produced... 

In his lifetime, Thomas Alva Edison patented 1,093 inventions, but the incandescent light bulb is generally regarded as his most famous invention. On October 21,1879, 29-year-old Thomas Edison demonstrated the first incandescent lamp in Menlo Park, NJ. The bulb burned for 13.5 hours. The chemistry of the components of this lighting device are essential to its incredible success.

While the necessity for such security was perfectly reasonable, it was nonetheless the case that the practice of science took place far from the public gaze. The potential problems of the isolation of science was part of the motivation to create the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1831 and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1848. These two organizations have expended a great deal of effort to keep science in the public fomm. To reach a wider audience, the AAAS began publishing the journal Science (partly financed by Thomas Alva Edison) in 1880. It joined the magazine Scientific American, which had first appeared in 1845, as conduits between the scientific community and the American public. Another important venue... 

My two examples are the archetypes of innovation in chemistry and In engineering technology respectively. Sir William Henry Perkins, Sr., one of the founders of Industrial chemistry and Thomas Alva Edison, the Inventor and developer of the industrial research laboratory, — in both cases, one should add "among many other Inventions and innovations."... 

Carbon fibers were first made by Thomas Alva Edison in 1879 from cellulose for lamp filaments. In Great Britain in 1961 the Royal Air Force produced a high-value carbon fiber from polyacrylonitrile (PAN).
