Born on April 27, 1791, Samuel Morse, interestingly, was a life professor of painting at the City University of New York! And he thought why intelligence might not be instantaneously transmitted by electricity to any distance! And why not indeed. His ship-board sketches clearly laid out three basic elements of a telegraph system. A sender which opened and closed an electric circuit, a receiver operated by an electromagnet to record the signal and a distinct code which converted the signal into alphabets and numbers. Morse went to England for seeking a patent but it was rejected. Even in America, his patent did not meet with success until 1843, when he was allowed to construct a forty-mile line from Washington D. C. to Baltimore. It was over this line that on May 24, 1844, Morse tapped out the famous words “What had God wrought” which heralded the birth of telegraph communication.For insightful knowledge on national and international science, explore @startoutreach #SamuelMorse#Telegraph #Innovation #History #CommunicationRevolution #OnThisDay #MorseCode #ScienceHistory#ScienceMatters#ScientificInnovation #ScienceCommunication #TechHistory #Physics #Electromagnetism #STEM #Invention #Discovery #ScienceIsAwesome#InnovationInScience#ScienceHeroes #TechnologyMilestone #CuriosityDriven #HistoryOfScience … See MoreSee Less

It was on April 26, 2012 that the first entirely indigenous reconnaissance satellite, the all-weather Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT-1) was launched by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from Sriharikota (SHAR), Andhra Pradesh. The reconnaissance satellites are used by security and intelligence agencies for detecting anti-infiltration and anti-terrorist operations including tracking hostile ships on the Indian ocean and the Arabian sea apart from picking up signatures from military vehicles, aircrafts and ships as well as submarines moving below the surface.For insightful knowledge on national and international science, explore @startoutreach#risat1#onthisday#ISRO#spacetechnology#madeinindia#SatelliteLaunch#PSLV#spacesecurity#indianspace#ProudMoment… See MoreSee Less
Born on April 25, 1874, Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian physicist and engineer, at the age of 21, intrigued by Hertz’s ‘electric waves’, developed improved radio equipment capable of transmitting for a range of over a kilometer and a half (the length of the family estate). However, the world recognised Jagadish Chandra Bose as a co-discoverer with Marconi for wireless radio propagation through free space after the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers popularly known as IEEE inducted Bose into its Wireless Hall of Fame when it declared: “Our investigative research into the origin and first major use of solid state diode detector devices led to the discovery that the first transatlantic wireless signal in Marconi’s world famous experiment was received by Marconi using the iron-mercury-iron –coherer with a telephone detector invented by Sir J C Bose in 1898.” (IEEE)For insightful knowledge on national and international science, explore @startoutreach #Marconi #JCBose #WirelessHistory #OnThisDay #ScienceHeroes #IndianScientists #IEEE #RadioWaves #SolidState#TechHistory #Innovation #TransatlanticSignal … See MoreSee Less
