new pacemaker powered by light, no batteries

can science save lives with solar power?

by rick richardson
technology this week

pengju li and his colleagues at the university of chicago have created a wireless, ultrathin pacemaker that utilizes light similarly to a solar panel. because it conforms to the shape of the heart, its design reduces interference with the heart’s normal function while simultaneously eliminating the need for batteries. their findings, just released in nature, provide a novel strategy for heart pacing and other therapies requiring electrical stimulation.
