    Engineers devise novel approach to Wirelessly Power Wearable Devices

    June 16, 2021, Categories  Physics, Technology/Electronics

    A team led by Associate Professor Jerald Yoo (left) has developed a novel wireless powering solution for wearables. With him are two team members: Ms Li Jiamin (centre), who has a transmitter on her right wrist and a receiver connected to a smart watch on her left wrist, and Mr Dong Yilong (right) who is holding a panel displaying the technology.

    Researchers have come up with a way to use one single device – such as a mobile phone or smartwatch – to wirelessly power up to 10 wearables on a user. This novel method uses the human body as a medium for transmitting power. Their system can also harvest unused energy from electronics in a typical home or office environment to power the wearables.

    Advancements in wearable technology are reshaping the way we live, work and play, and also ho...
