Scientists develop flexible ultrasonic receiver that charges devices through water

SMRTR summary

Scientists have created a flexible ultrasonic receiver for wireless charging through water and human tissue. This innovation could transform implantable medical devices and underwater electronics, removing the need for wires or regular battery changes. The device delivers 20 milliwatts of power underwater and 7 milliwatts through tissue, sufficient for low-power wearables or medical implants. Its functionality in aquatic environments makes it ideal for marine sensors and underwater drones, enabling power delivery in previously challenging locations.
