Fast-charging has been around for a few years and improved to a great degree. While wireless charging is more recent and still needs a lot of improvement, researchers are already working on the next step. To be exact, scientists have managed to develop a new device that's capable of charging devices from a distance.
According to Live Science (via Gizmochina), there will be two machines in such a setup. One will beam energy using a method called coherent perfect absorption (CPA), while the other on the receiving end will emit what's called "anti-laser" to absorb photons in reverse order. Allegedly, devices being charged can receive up to 99.996% of the energy sent.
Obviously, this technology is far from ready for commercial or consumer use. How much energy can be beamed is currently unknown, so it's likely not worth the implementation yet. But would you find this technology useful, or are current charging systems good enough for you? Let us know what you think in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
