Metamaterial shells should wirelessly transmit power and enable deeper transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain
From
Physicists in Spain have calculated that substantial amounts of energy could be transmitted through air by using special materials to shape the magnetic fields around conductors. Although the concept has yet to be verified in the lab, the researchers say that it could lead to a viable method of transmitting electrical power, as well as applications in magnetic sensors and studies of the brain.
They have used the theory of transformation optics to propose a new way of concentrating and transmitting electrical energy.
