Today's top stories are all about wireless power transfer. Electronic Design’s Bill Wong takes a closer look at Energous, a startup claiming it can wirelessly deliver enough power to IoT devices to eliminate the need for batteries.

Meanwhile, we also spotlight a key challenge with inductive wireless technology: EMI, which can be caused by the presence of electromagnetic fields in the relatively large gaps between the charging coils.

In case you missed it: Eggtronic outlines the potential for capacitive wireless power as an alternative to the inductive approach. Check out the article in the archive section below, along with a contributed piece from wireless power startup Ossia addressing common misconceptions about the technology.
