Founded the science of electrodynamics, now known as electromagnetism.

Established the inverse square law of attraction and repulsion of unlike and like magnetic poles, which became Coulomb's law.

Pioneered the development of wireless telegraphy, using radio waves to transmit messages across long distances.

Discovered electromagnetic induction and the principle behind the electric transformer and generator.
