Researchers have shown that electrical energy can be transmitted through open air using a combination of ultrasonic sound waves, laser systems, and radio-frequency technologies.
In Finland, scientists at the University of Helsinki and the University of Oulu are exploring multiple wireless power methods, positioning the country at the forefront of next-generation energy research. One experimental approach uses high-intensity ultrasonic waves to temporarily structure the air, creating a guided pathway for electrical discharges. Often referred to as an “acoustic channel,” this technique relies on sound rather than physical cables to direct electricity.
Although still in the laboratory phase, the technology could eventually enable contact-free electrical connections, allowing devices to operate without plugs, sockets, or conventional wiring.
Finnish innovation also extends beyond sound-based systems. Private-sector companies are developing laser-powered energy transfer, where focused light delivers electricity to remote receivers. This method is especially valuable in environments requiring strong electrical isolation, such as nuclear facilities or high-voltage sites.
Meanwhile, researchers are advancing radio-frequency energy harvesting, capturing ambient electromagnetic signals to power low-energy devices. This approach could significantly reduce dependence on disposable batteries in sensors and Internet-of-Things applications.
Together, these breakthroughs point toward a future where electricity can be delivered more safely, efficiently, and flexibly transforming how energy is distributed across industrial and technological systems.
Dear #RCB, congrats 👏🏻, welcome to the champion's club,now that you know what it takes to win the IPL trophy, I hope you learn what it takes a team to win it 5 times.
Please don't be brash and rude towards other franchise fans henceforth,thank you #IPL2025#CSK#CSKFan#GoVirat
I’ve played with you for 14 years and when you told me today you’re retiring, it made me a bit emotional and the flashbacks of all those years playing together came to me. I’ve enjoyed every bit of the journey with you ash, your skill and match winning contributions to Indian cricket are second to none and you will always and always be remembered as a legend of Indian cricket. Wish you nothing but the best in your life with your family and everything else that it unfolds for you. With massive respect and lots of love to you and your close ones. Thanks for everything buddy.❤️🇮🇳 @ashwinravi99
I must admit I was a bit taken aback first to see Virat Kohli so emotional and then to announce that he has played his last T20I. This generation should consider itself lucky to have seen him in his prime. And when it counted, he showed why he is the big match player India is blessed to have.
In the path of the Athikadavu-Avinashi water project, the #Annur tank, essential for #irrigation and groundwater recharge across approx. 1,100 acres of farmland, faces obstacles such as sewage discharge from around 10,000 households and a 65% weed infestation. @THChennai
