Tissue-like Implant to Bring Electricity...
Imagine someone charging their pacemaker not with the usual surgery but with just a brief prick of a thin needle. That could soon be possible with a groundbreaking sponge-like material called an Implantable Bioelectronic Outlet (IBO) created by UC Irvine researchers. The IBO is designed to live inside the body and aims to enable devices that are implanted in the body, like pacemakers, to be recharged without surgery.
