Example of further TESLA related research:electromagnetic waves could be detected. During the investigation of radioactivity he coined the terms alpha and beta to describe the two distinct types of radiation emitted by thorium and uranium.
Between 1900 and 1903, Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy showed how thorium decayed at a fixed rate over time into a series of other elements. This observation led to the identification of half life as one of the outcomes of the alpha particle experiments that led to their disintegration theory of radioactivity. In 1908 Ernest Rutherford received the Nobel Price for his research. In 1919 he became the first person to transmute one element into another when he converted nitrogen into oxygen through the nuclear reaction. In 1926 he wrote a book
Tesla always studied his peers; so he definitely would have studied the work of Rutherford and the particular point I lifted out above would have been of great interest to Tesla.
Some other interesting research of Nikola Tesla:B92 - Tesla - Life and work - Nikola Tesla and his Compatriots
Another example of interest:
I once saw a photo of Nikola Tesla with Kenneth Swezey. So who was this Swezey? Following that out, I found that KS actually formed the Tesla Society, was a friend of Tesla and more important:
Important: Those are 26 boxes of TESLA related documents.
Tesla devised all kinds of wirelessly lit vacuum and gas filled tubes. He increased the brilliance by using glass of which the silica compound was mixed with uranium and coating them with phosphors. That was Tesla version of the Fluorescent tubes.

the silvery coating seen on the glass envelopes inside is generally made of barium, which reacts (when hot) with gases, taking them out of circulation as soon as they appear so it cant be that because it's on the outside of the bulb or globe.
