<div dir="ltr"><div>"At the height of his career, the pioneering electrical engineer 
Nikola Tesla became obsessed with an idea. He theorized that electricity
 could be transmitted wirelessly through the air at long 
distances—either via a series of strategically positioned towers, or 
hopping across a system of suspended balloons.
<p>Things <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/what-is-wardenclyffe-tower-nikola-tesla">didn’t go to plan</a>,
 and Tesla’s ambitions for a wireless global electricity supply were 
never realized. But the theory itself wasn’t disproved: it would have 
simply required an extraordinary amount of power, much of which would 
have been wasted.</p>
<p>Now, <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-79500-x">a research paper</a>
 has suggested that the architects of the 5G network may have 
unwittingly built what Tesla failed to construct at the turn of the 
twentieth century: a “wireless power grid” that could be adapted to 
charge or power small devices embedded in cars, homes, workplaces, and 
factories."</p>
