During an average lifetime, the heart beats more than 2 billion times. To you, it might just be a steady “lub-dub” that speeds up under pressure and slows as you drift to sleep. But behind that rhythm ...

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 ...

A team at Northwestern University (NU) has developed a pacemaker small enough to fit inside the tip of a syringe and be non-invasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

Engineers at Illinois' Northwestern University have developed the tiniest pacemaker you'll ever see. It's several times smaller than a regular pacemaker, and it's designed for patients several times ...

Scientists just unveiled the world’s tiniest pacemaker. Smaller than a grain of rice and controlled by light shone through the skin, the pacemaker generates power and squeezes the heart’s muscles ...

A new, tiny pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — developed at Northwestern University could play a sizable role in the future of medicine, according to the engineers who developed it.

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 ...
