Schematic from Figure 1 of the study displaying the wireless power transmission and receiver on the lunar far side with three satellites (SPS-1, SPS-2, and SPS-3) in a halo orbit at the Earth-Moon ...

What just happened? The global race to beam solar energy from space directly to Earth is raging on, and Caltech scientists have seemingly scored the first goal. The SSPD-1 has successfully harvested ...

In the late 19th century, Nikola Tesla experimented with wireless energy transmission using a radio transmitter and receiver. His wireless, unlimited, free energy dream was revolutionary, but it was ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication.

Scientists demonstrate wireless electricity technology by sending electricity over a distance of five miles using lasers.

Converting the radio transmissions in the air into power. All wireless signals comprise energy and data, the latter derived by the way the radio waves are modulated. Wireless energy harvesting (WEH) ...

The idea of solar energy being transmitted from space is not a new one. In 1968, a NASA engineer named Peter Glaser produced the first concept design for a solar-powered satellite. But only now, 55 ...

Using optical wavelengths rather than RF is bringing the long-sought goal of transmitting useful power levels closer to ...

Wireless charging is nothing new—you may charge your phone that way every day. But in some instances, it’d be super handy to directly and regularly power devices across a gap filled with air, glass, ...

Use cases are emerging for induction charging, ambient IoT and midrange power transmission, and laser power beaming.
