coherer
right|thumb|Metal filings coherer designed by Guglielmo Marconi, consisting of a tube containing two electrodes spaced a small distance apart, with metal filings in the space between them The coherer was a primitive form of radio signal detector used in the first radio receivers during the wireless telegraphy era at the beginning of the 20th century. Its use in radio was based on the 1890 findings of French physicist Édouard Branly and adapted by other physicists and inventors over the next ten years. The device consists of a tube or capsule containing two electrodes spaced a small distance a
