OK - it's pretty clever to transfer around 40W wirelessly. My guess
(without taking a year to study the article and its physics) is that they
have a method (the "gap" in the coil) to precisely tune each
coil. So the system is coupling between two extremely high-Q tuned
circuits.

It sounds very unlikely that a practical mechanism could do this in any
generally useful way. I don't think they're claiming to have found any new
physics.
