The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and ...

The smallest soft lithium-ion battery ever made consists ... along with providing pacemaker-style control – but it may eventually power biomedical implants and wearable electronics for humans.

Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be noninvasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device ...

A new, tiny pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — developed at Northwestern University could play a sizable role in the future of medicine, according to the engineers who developed it.

He owns a Porsche Taycan powered by a lithium-ion battery, the same kind that keeps all electric vehicles running, not to mention iPhones and chainsaws and military drones and pacemakers and so on.

The pacemaker also has a light-activated switch, and this is paired with a small heart rate sensor that the patient wears on their chest. When the latter detects the patient's heart slowing below ...
