Mechanical and electrical energy are linked and can be exchanged back and forth. Just like ultrasound converts electrical voltage into pressure or sound, we can engineer similar materials onto ...

Scientists have found a way to pick the best pacemaker for each patient, potentially making them last years longer. Researchers at the University of Leeds, Université Grenoble Alpes and University ...

It's a pacemaker that's a bit like the Energizer bunny -- it will keep ticking and ticking and ticking. An experimental pacemaker is able to partially recharge its own battery by using heartbeats to ...

An experimental leadless pacemaker is able to capture enough energy from the heart to partially power the device, according to results from a new proof-of-concept study. The prototype device harvested ...

UW researchers created a sleeve for a pacemaker using piezoelectric materials, which generate electricity when mechanical pressure is applied. Credit: iMatter Lab & Bioengineering ...

(CN) — For those who depend on implanted medical devices like pacemakers, battery life is crucial, but when the batteries currently used by doctors inevitably run out of juice, replacing the power ...

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Koon Loh, an 81-year-old New Jersey resident, felt shocked and confused when he learned he had a condition that would jeopardize his lifestyle. In 2020, Loh discovered he had an ...
