MIT Team Powers Light Bulb Without Wires

In this photo released by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, members of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology team that performed an experiment demonstrating wireless power transmission from the coil on the left to the coil on the right, where it powers a 60W light-bulb, are seen. Members of the team that performed the experiment are, front row: Peter Fisher,left, and Robert Moffatt; second row: Marin Soljacic; third row: Andre Kurs, left, John Joannopoulos,and Aristeidis Karalis. Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers made a 60-watt light bulb glow by sending it energy wirelessly - from a device 7 feet away - potentially heralding a future in which cell phones and other gadgets get their juice without having to be plugged in.
