This is an intriguing story on the BBC website (Physics promises an end to plugs and cables for your laptop):
The tangle of cables and plugs needed to recharge today's electronic gadgets could soon be a thing of the past.
US researchers have outlined a relatively simple system that could deliver power to devices such as laptop computers or MP3 players without wires.
The concept exploits century-old physics and could work over distances of many metres, the researchers said.
no conclusion, I see...
just whoring for comments...you'll be changing your name to simon next!
