Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed a new pacemaker that’s thinner than a human hair, wireless and operated entirely by light from an optic fiber. The non-invasive device could help ...

Until recently, chronobiologists assumed that certain neurons located on the sides of the brain act as the main pacemaker, synchronizing the entire system. However, a new study shows that time ...

A Stanford University engineering group, led by Ada Poon, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has come up with a way to manipulate deep body implants – such as pacemakers, nerve stimulators ...

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 ...

Almost all living creatures have an endogenous clock that enables them to adapt their behavior and body functions to the natural rhythm of day and night. This so-called circadian rhythm is controlled ...
