"Historic Milestone: Satellite Beams Power to Earth for the First Time"
TL;DR
For the first time, scientists have successfully beamed power wirelessly from space to Earth using a microwave beam. The experiment, conducted by researchers in Japan, involved transmitting 1.8 kilowatts of power through a microwave beam from a transmitter on the ground to a receiver 55 meters away on a small island. This breakthrough in space-based solar power could potentially provide a new source of renewable energy for the planet.
