Pacemaker powered by light eliminates need for batteries and allows the heart to function more naturally—new research
Researchers have developed a wireless, ultrathin pacemaker powered by light that eliminates the need for batteries and operates like a solar panel. This innovative design conforms to the heart’s contours and can precisely stimulate multiple areas of the heart using light-generated electrical signals. The pacemaker is thinner than a human hair, can be implanted without…
