Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, and futurist best known for his pioneering work in alternating current (AC) electricity, which became the foundation of modern power grids. A visionary ahead of his time, Tesla developed numerous groundbreaking technologies, including the Tesla coil, wireless energy transmission concepts, and early ideas for radio and radar. Despite his genius, he struggled financially and was overshadowed by rivals like Thomas Edison. Tesla's contributions to electrical engineering, robotics, and wireless communication continue to influence modern technology, cementing his legacy as one of history's greatest inventors.
