No, in a propagating transverse electromagnetic

In a vacuum they are in phase. *As a medium in

From my knowledge on power generation, the electric
and magnetic fields are 90 degrees out-of-phase
if no mechanical energy is converted into electric
power.

That is what pushing electrons (with their mass... remember simple
harmonic motion?) does.

Couldn't it be the case that electromagnetic
radiation in vacuum interacts with sensors
in-phase for an unitary power factor (and zero
losses)?

No. The rest of the physics doesn't work.
