Science Uncoils Tesla's Dream. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6129460.stm)
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.
Although the team has not built and tested a system, computer models and mathematics suggest it will work.
