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 ...

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 researchers have developed the world’s smallest pacemaker, which with its dissolvable nature allows it to be inserted non-invasively into patients’ bodies. Fit into the tip of a syringe, ...

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 new, temporary pacemaker is smaller than a grain of rice. John A. Rogers / Northwestern University Researchers have developed the smallest temporary pacemaker ever created. It’s littler than a grain ...

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 ...

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 ...
