January

  • January 27 – Thomas Edison is granted a patent for the incandescent light bulb. Edison filed for a US patent for an electric lamp using "a carbon filament or strip coiled and connected ... to platina contact wires."[1] Although the patent described several ways of creating the carbon filament, including using "cotton and linen thread, wood splints, papers coiled in various ways,"[1] Edison and his team later discovered that a carbonized bamboo filament could last more than 1200 hours.[2]
