*The first xerographic copy was created in 1938 by physicist Chester Carlson by combining two fundamental concepts: materials with opposite electrical charges attract one another, and certain materials conduct electricity better after being exposed to light. Met with little interest, Carlson persevered knowing xerography was the "key to a tremendous new industry." Twenty years later, the first copier was unveiled.
