The article kindly submitted here is a university press release. That digests the facts in the PNAS article from October 29, 2013 http://www.pnas.org/content/110/44/17623.full.pdf http://www.pnas.org/content/110/44/17623.full.pdf into more readable prose, but it also adds some hype in the familiar manner of the Science News Cycle. http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1174 http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1174 It will be grand if this scales up to commercial power transmission someday, but there are a lot more research and development steps to go through before we would see such a thing, if it is possible at all. The obligatory link for any discussion of a preliminary research finding like this article is the essay "Warning Signs in Experimental Design and Interpretation" by Peter Norvig, LISP hacker and director of research at Google, on how to interpret scientific research. http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html The paper here reports a new theoretical framework, so the first stage in checking it out is to conduct many more experiments to validate the new theory--or possibly prove it wrong.
