The Next Smartphones May Be Able To Charge With Lasers
Laser beams could wirelessly charge newer smartphones just as quickly as a cumbersome USB cables or charging pads, according to researchers at the University of Washington (UW). The team claims to be the first to design and demonstrate a novel, laser-based wireless power delivery system with built-in safety features for personal or commercial use.
