The Nokia Research Center of the Finnish company is working on a research project that will allow future phones to be charged not only in the usual way from the network or through Qi, but stay connected, so to speak, "forever", utilizing the energy of radio wave radiation.
The project unit in Cambridge was able to assemble a prototype prototype of the device, which at the moment can accumulate energy “from the air” with a power while tiny 5 mW, but in the nearest plans to raise this figure to 20 mW, which in theory will allow To be on the phone in standby mode "indefinitely."
The engineering team itself agrees that at the moment there is no practical sense to solve them, since a full call requires much more energy, and considering the requirements of modern smartphones, all the more so. Nevertheless, the indicator of energy utilization of power already in 50 mW, planned for the near future, will already allow “little by little” to charge the battery so that the daily loss of energy by the phone's battery will be compensated by the new “wireless charging” mechanism.
There is a popular opinion on the Internet that industrialist John Morgan, who financed Nikola Tesla's work, broke a contract with him when he learned that the physicist was going, in addition to the agreed projects, to also deal with the problem of wireless transmission of electricity. The rest of the legendary stories hint that Tesla still achieved significant results in this area in the early 20th century, and even associated with such mysterious events as the Philadelphia experiment and the fall of the Tunguska meteorite.

The Nokia project is less ambitious and does not use directional energy sources like Nikola Tesla, however, scientific and engineering achievements in this area will probably give modern devices the autonomy desired by many, and not just the races of processor frequencies and screen sizes.
