StoreDot demonstrated the tech at Microsoft’s Think Next Conference, and the finished product will hit the market sometime in 2016.
The company actually created the charger while doing research for Alzheimer’s disease, and already, several investors have ponied up huge amounts of cash, including Samsung, which allegedly put up $6 million.
