Nature Materials annouced that Takao Someya’s research group at the University of Tokyo in Japan developed a plastic sheet that can deliver power by electromagnetic induction. This sheet utilizes an ingenious combination of solid state physics, organic chemistry, and nanoscience.
The plastic sheet, nearly a millimeter thick, can deliver up to 40 Watts of power to receivers that have […]
