Imagine not having to untangle cables or search the entire office for someone who has the same charger as you. What if you could just walk into a room and all of your devices would charge on their own? It sounds unreal, but that technology is exactly what scientists at ITMO are working on right now. They recently revealed a new type of wireless charger – a box that evenly distributes a magnetic field within itself. To charge your device, all you need to do is place it anywhere inside the contraption. That is also what distinguishes it from existing wireless smartphone chargers, which are capable of transferring energy only across short distances. Our latest special project explains how this technology works, why it is completely safe, and whether it can be expanded to cover an entire room. To learn more, follow this link.
