Atif Shamin, a student at Carleton University in Canada has figured out a way of reducing a mobile device’s power consumption by replacing all of the internal wires and PCBs of a device with an antenna. This enables a wireless connection between a micro-antenna embedded within the circuits of the chip. Pretty cool, now my friend can watch their whole ALF box set without getting up to charge it.
