Researchers at Stanford University have developed a sensor that allows doctors to monitor the success of blood vessel surgery. The sensor is compact, biodegradable, wireless, and battery-free providing a minimally invasive way to monitor blood […]

Engineers at the University of Tokyo have developed an electronic device that can closely monitor working heart cells without negatively affecting their natural behavior. The electronic nanomesh sensor is engineered in such a way that […]

Engineers at University of California, Berkeley have developed a neurostimulator that can simultaneously monitor and stimulate the brain’s electrical current. The device, dubbed WAND, is like a pacemaker for the brain in that it delivers […]

A team of engineers and neuroscientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in conjunction with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago have […]

Engineers at University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a battery-free, implantable weight-loss device to combat obesity. The implantable device is about a third the size of a penny and can be inserted using a minimally invasive […]

A team of scientists at Northwestern’s McCormick School of Engineering have developed the world’s smallest battery-free wearable device. The device, which is thinner than a credit card and as small as an M&M,  can measure […]

Researchers at the University of Melbourne, in Australia, have invented a brain stimulation device that can be installed via a minimally invasive procedure, providing an alternative to open brain surgery. The device, called a Stentrode™, […]

Engineers at University of Wisconsin-Madison are working on a low-cost bandage that speeds up healing time. Their research, which was recently described in the journal ACS Nano, uses energy generated from a patient’s own body movements […]
