The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can ...

Biomedical engineers create a rice-grain sized, injectable pacemaker dissolving after temporary use, ideal for newborns with ...

Researchers at Northwestern developed a temporary pacemaker that’s so small, it can be inserted via a syringe—and will ...

"We have developed what is, to our knowledge, the world's smallest pacemaker," said Northwestern bioelectronics pioneer John A. Rogers, who led the device development.

Scientists unveil a groundbreaking injectable pacemaker that dissolves in the body after use-offering a safer, smarter, and stitch-free solution to heart rhythm problems.

Smaller than a grain of rice, new pacemaker is particularly suited to the small, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital heart defects. Tiny pacemaker is paired with a small, soft, flexible ...

A light-activated pacemaker dissolves in the body after use, offering safer, wireless heart care - especially for newborns ...

Although it can work with hearts of all sizes, the pacemaker is particularly well-suited to the tiny, fragile hearts of ...

Described in Nature, the breakthrough design incorporates a wearable patch for the patient containing an infra-red light ...

The tiny device measures just 1.8 millimetres in width, 3.5 millimetres in length and one millimetre in thickness.

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 all ...

A rice-sized, dissolvable pacemaker powered by light may revolutionize post-heart surgery care, especially for kids, while vanishing safely in the body.
