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 ...

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 ...

Though a Northwestern-developed quarter-size dissolvable pacemaker worked well in pre-clinical animal studies, cardiac surgeons asked if it was possible to make the device smaller. To reduce the size ...
