A heartbeat-powered pacemaker from UW–Madison harvests cardiac motion to charge an experimental leadless implant.

Madison researchers have developed an implantable, battery-free pacemaker that's charged by a patient's heartbeat. The device ...

CHICAGO — They run on the sun. Solar panels power our homes, yards and even our cars. And now local researchers are using similar technology to power a human heart. The tiny device has captured the ...

Every heartbeat creates movement, and researchers in Wisconsin want to put that movement to work. A new experimental device ...

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 ...

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 triboelectric nanogenerator harvests energy from each heartbeat to power a battery-free pacemaker, pointing toward implants ...

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, published last week ...

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 dissolves after ...

Discover how a Buffalo inventor’s “happy accident” powered the pacemaker and saved lives. Your heart runs on electricity! Discover how tiny sparks keep it beating — and how Buffalo inventor Wilson ...

Though a Northwestern-developed quarter-size dissolvable pacemaker worked well in pre-clinical animal studies, cardiac surgeons asked if it was possible to make the device smaller. To reduce the size ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...
