Wireless power could have cellphone users beaming

Your cellphone or laptop computer may soon recharge itself the same way it transfers information - wirelessly. NewScientist reports.

"Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), report that they can now send substantial amounts of power - enough to light a 60-watt bulb - across a room by magnetic induction between two devices tuned to resonate with each other.

They hope to use this phenomenon of "strong coupling" to recharge or even run mobile devices wirelessly."
