Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer best known for his work on alternating current electricity systems.
Born in the Austrian Empire, he studied engineering before emigrating to the United States in 1884.
Tesla worked briefly for Thomas Edison before establishing his own laboratories and companies.
His inventions included the AC induction motor, wireless communication devices, and early X-ray imaging.
Despite his groundbreaking work, Tesla faced financial difficulties later in life.
He died in 1943 in New York City.
Tesla's contributions were largely overlooked until a resurgence of interest in the 1990s, leading to renewed recognition of his significant impact on modern technology and electrical systems.
