• Korean researchers have passed an important milestone in the development of electrically resonant wireless power transfer (ERWPT), a technology reminiscent of the ambitious dreams of legendary inventor Nikola Tesla, which could have a game-changing impact in several sectors.
• The new research shows the properties of electric fields can be used to overcome significant limitations of more conventional systems that rely on magnetic resonance for wireless power transfer (WPT).
• The innovation could pave the for a wide range of applications in fields as diverse as medical implants and electric vehicles, while offering much greater flexibility and unprecedented energy efficiency.
