The only article by the scientist they mentionned that seems related to this is this one:
Wireless Non-Radiative Energy Transfer
[PDF] <a href="http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0611/0611063.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0611/0611063.pdf</a>
Otherwise is work seems to be more related to photonics and nano materials.
