Wireless Power Transfer

Stanford researchers developed a wireless power transfer mechanism that will charge devices while on the move, or in use. The mechanism uses a parity-time symmetric circuit incorporating a nonlinear gain saturation element. Efficiency and power transfer are constant over varying range without tuning - enabling wireless 'on the go' charging. Consumer, medical, and industrial electronics will be more robust, reliable, convenient, and safer through the elimination of cables, wires and battery replacement.
