Stanford University scientists have overcome a significant hurdle in the wireless charging of electric vehicles. The researchers developed a system that wirelessly delivers electricity to a nearby moving object. The technology, known as magnetic resonance coupling, could be used to charge electric vehicles as they drive along the highway and personal devices, like medical implants and cellphones, at close range.

In this video, Stanford Professor Shanhui Fan and graduate student Sid Assawaworrarit explain the researched published on June 15, 2017, in the journal Nature.
