Wireless charging technique boosts long-distance efficiency to 80%

Adoption of wireless charging has been fairly slow, but it could pick up if it worked over longer distances. Now, engineers at Aalto University have developed a new system that can allow more efficient wireless power transmission over longer distances.

@kier I am no expert, but there are I believe other mechanisms that could *maybe indirectly* cause cancer with certain kinds of radiation. I feel like cell damage from microwave- or infrared-induced heat could release free radicals or create some other carcinogenic chemicals.

But that's not a direct result of the radiation. Direct DNA damage from radiation only occurs with ionizing radiation, as you mentioned.

And since we're talking about visible light, I'm not aware of any way, indirect or otherwise, that visible light could cause cancer.
