In this review, we discuss recent developments in both the theory and the experimental searches of magnetic monopoles in past, current and future colliders and in the Cosmos. The theoretical models include, apart from the standard Grand Unified Theories, extensions of the Standard Model that admit magnetic monopole solutions with finite energy and masses that can be as light as a few TeV. Specifically, we discuss, among other scenarios, modified Cho-Maison monopoles and magnetic monopoles in (string-inspired, higher derivative) Born-Infeld extensions of the hypercharge sector of the Standard Model. We also outline the conditions for which effective field theories describing the interaction of monopoles with photons are valid and can be used for result interpretation in monopole production at colliders. The experimental part of the review focuses on, past and present, cosmic and collider searches, including the latest bounds on monopole masses and magnetic charges by the ATLAS and MoEDAL experiments at the LHC, as well as prospects for future searches.

The Euler-Heisenberg action for a $U(1)\times U(1)$ dyon quantum electrodynamics
One-loop Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian for U(1)×U(1) dyon QED produces hybrid refractive indices and vacuum birefringence that reduce exactly to ordinary QED when magnetic charge vanishes.

Self-Consistent Parker Bound on Magnetic Monopoles
A self-consistent Parker bound on magnetic monopoles is derived using the galactic mean-field dynamo eigenmode and turbulent field seeding and acceleration, producing modified flux limits at low and intermediate masse...

Cosmology-Independent Constraints on Irreducible Magnetic Monopole Background
Cosmic-ray collisions with interstellar gas create monopoles that would drain galactic magnetic fields, yielding new cosmology-independent Parker-like bounds on light monopoles.

Self-Gravitating Magnetic Monopoles and Dyons in String-Inspired Models: Structure and Stability
Global monopoles plus dilaton/axion/Born-Infeld yield regular self-gravitating magnetic monopoles and dyons with positive ADM mass, finite energy and linear exterior EM stability.

Impact of resummation on the production and experimental bounds of scalar high-electric-charge objects
For scalar HECOs, a Dyson-Schwinger resummation raises predicted LHC production cross sections and strengthens 95% CL mass bounds by up to about 30% compared with tree-level estimates.

Gravitational waves and dark matter with Witten effect
A dark SU(2) phase transition can produce monopole dark matter, make the axion heavy via the Witten effect, and generate nanohertz gravitational waves matching PTA hints.

Magnetic Monopoles: Theoretical Insights into the Cosmic Ray Conundrum
The paper argues, following Staruszkiewicz, that positivity of the Hilbert space norm in the infrared limit of QED forbids isolated magnetic monopoles, which would explain their non-observation.

Ultra-peripheral Collisions
Ultra-peripheral collisions of heavy ions are reviewed as the energy frontier for photon physics; the paper consolidates a decade of LHC/RHIC results and proposes no new measurement.
