Wireless Power!!!
Snip the last cords on your desk. Wireless “power strips,” developed by Pennsylvania-based Powercast, transmit energy from an outlet as radio waves. Add-on chips for low-power devices, such as cellphones, convert those waves into electricity when the items come within a few feet. The first products debut this year.
Monitor in your pocket!!
Flexible e-ink screens, as easy on the eyes as newsprint, will wirelessly grab the documents you need when you enter a meeting. You can then unfurl them on the train or switch over to the newspaper. Researchers at Dutch company Polymer Vision have created flexible circuitry that bonds to displays at low temperatures so that screens can bend without melting or breaking. Now they’re working on circuits for high-resolution 8½-by-11-inch displays.
You have to love them geeks!
