Tesla's passion for innovation led him to explore a range of technologies, from wireless communication to radio waves, making him one of the most influential figures in the history of science and technology.

Despite facing many challenges and setbacks throughout his career, including fierce competition with contemporaries like Thomas Edison, Tesla remained committed to his vision of a better, more connected world.
