Northwestern University researchers have engineered a temporary pacemaker so small that it can fit on the tip of a syringe and be injected, eliminating the need for surgery. The ...

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 ...

PARIS — Scientists said on Wednesday they had developed the world's tiniest pacemaker, a temporary heartbeat regulator smaller than a grain of rice that can be injected and controlled by light before ...

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 ...

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 ...

The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can become a race against time to restore balance. For decades, doctors have ...

Tiny device can be inserted with a syringe, then dissolves after it's no longer needed. (Nanowerk News) Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the ...

The wire-free pacemaker could benefit patients recovering from cardiac surgery, without the need for added operations to remove it. Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists created a novel type of ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists at Northwestern University have developed the world's smallest pacemaker, a device so tiny it can be injected into the body through the tip of a syringe.

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 ...
