Japan has achieved a breakthrough in renewable energy by wirelessly transmitting electricity from orbit to Earth for the first time.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully sent power collected by solar panels in space to a ground station using microwave transmission. The test proves that clean energy can be harvested beyond the planet and delivered without physical cables.
The demonstration marks a critical step toward space-based solar farms that could one day power cities with continuous, weather-proof renewable energy.
