Electro magnetic force?

It's the force that is brought by a magnetic field. The Sun uses electro-magnetic waves to provide solar radiation to us because it can travel through a vacuum.


How do you transfer electricity by air?

In useful amounts - you can't. Radio waves are a way of transferrring electro-magnetic energy through the air, but the amounts are too tiny to be of any real use. Lightning is also transfer of electricity through air, but we haven't figured out a way to make it useful.

Why doesn't thermal radiation need a medium to transfer heat energy?

Thermal energy is an electromagnetic wave, as light is. Light (and other electromagnetic waves) travel best through empty space. They consist of an electric and magnetic field, that propagates as a wave.
