A Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher has explained how the batteries of portable electronic devices could be wirelessly — and safely — recharged. Such a technological feat could be accomplished by matching the source and receiver in frequency, similar to radio, MIT Assistant Professor Marin Soljacic said at a physics conference in San Francisco this week. The method could enable efficient power transfer over short distances.
