The article talks a lot about their rectifier and im guessing that’s where the ‘breakthrough’ is, but still I feel this is like too many of these articles where its a lot of hype for a little progress.
This is also how passive RFID tags work, the tag harvests just enough energy from the scanning frequency to boot up a microchip and respond with its ID number.

Yeah, you can also find “crystal radio” kits — radio receivers that use only the received RF to produce sound (no external power source).
