A research team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Korea University designed a flexible and biocompatible ultrasonic receiver that enables wireless charging underwater.
Ultrasonic Receiver
This new technology could prove useful due to the growing demand for implantable medical devices or underwater electronics that can stay powered without wires or ports. Traditional wireless charging methods aren’t currently compatible in these environments as they’re short-range and susceptible to electromagnetic frequencies.
These issues could be solved with ultrasonic waves, which may be more compatible for this type of wireless energy because they’re less absorbed by…
