An electromagnetic analogue for a black hole laser – a system that could theoretically amplify Hawking radiation from the event horizon of a black hole and make it observable – has been proposed by Haruna Katayama of Hiroshima University in Japan. The radiation emitted would be masked by the radiation absorbed and be unobservable.

Devices known as optical rectennas show considerable promise for renewable energy because they can harvest energy from heat and convert it into electricity. Rectennas (short for rectifying antennas) consist of two parts: an antenna, which absorbs electromagnetic radiation, and a diode, which converts the absorbed energy into direct current.
