MIT backroom boffins and boffinettes have worked out a way of wirelessly illuminating an unplugged light bulb from seven feet away.
The result, which is familiar to anyone who has seen the Adam's Family or read anything about Tesla, has been called "WiTricity".

According to Science Express, the technique could one day be used to charge a laptop without plugging it in.

Top boffin Marin Soljacic said the system uses a carefully designed magnetic field to deliver power to such devices from a range of 10 to 15 feet.
