A “non-radiative” electromagnetic field is a state of electric and magnetic fields which are localized someplace on the device and in the source, said John Joannopoulos, a researcher from MIT. “Localized means that electromagnetic fields will die off as you go away from the device or the source.”The energy could then be picked up by especially designed gadgets. What's not picked up by the receiver is then reabsorbed by the emitter.It’s not dangerous at all, Joannopoulos told LiveScience.The technology will initially have a short range at first, the researchers expect. A laptop could be recharged within a few yards of the power source.

The four-foot-tall, 100-pound (45-kg) bipedal hominid Paranthropus robustus lived in what is now South Africa alongside direct ancestors of modern humans, as well as hyenas, saber-toothed cats, elephants, baboons, antelopes and others.A prevailing notion among scientists has been that Paranthropus was driven into extinction as Africa's climate became drier because it had a very limited diet, while our direct ancestors thrived on a diverse menu.
It turns out that Paranthropus ate leaves, fruit, nuts, seeds, roots, tubers and perhaps even meat from grazing animals, maybe from scavenging, the researchers said.

Snapping a new frame every second and a half, the rocket-borne camera climbed straight up, then fell back to Earth minutes later, slamming into the ground at 500 feet per second. The camera itself was smashed, but the film, protected in a steel cassette, was unharmed.
