    Wireless Power

    Energy that can be transmitted without a direct physical connection.

    What's old is new again! And no, I'm not talking about vintage clothing or economic populism. Scientists are coming up with a new system of wireless power based on century-old physics developed by Nikola Tesla. Could this solve the world's energy problems? Or more importantly, have you seen David Bowie as Tesla in that movie "The Prestige"?

    Editorial note: Whoa! You've found a super-old post here on BuzzFeed, from an earlier era of the site. It doesn't really represent where we are anymore, and may in fact be totally broken, but we're leaving it up as a part of our early history.
