Marin Soljacic, assistant professor in Massachusettes Institute of Technology, came up with an idea that could have cell phones and laptops recharging themselves wirelessly. The theory says non-radiative energy can send power to devices without wiring. Soljacic and his team believe that non-radiative wireless devices would have a limited range, but that a laptop could be charged within a few meters of the power source, so placing one source in each room would provide coverage throughout one's home.
