History is written by the victors. But that is no comfort to those crossed out by the editor's pen. For years, science textbooks equated electricity and light with one man, Thomas Edison, while the genius whose pioneering electrical technologies truly power the modern world languished as a minor note in scientific history. Before the turn of the 20th century, electricity remained a mere scientific curiosity. Nikola Tesla, arguably more than anyone else, changed that. But Nikola's pioneering research in electricity represents only a portion of the scientific and technical innovations that elevated him to science godhood.
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer renowned for his work in developing the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. He studied engineering in the Austrian Empire and worked in telephony and for Edison before immigrating to the U.S. in 1884. Tesla's innovations included the AC induction motor, wireless lighting, and early X-ray imaging. Despite his successes, he died impoverished. Tesla's legacy was revived in 1960 when the SI unit of magnetic flux density was named the tesla.
