This experimental prototype is the smallest in the world. It can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves when it is no longer needed. Its size is very suitable for babies with heart defects.

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 ...

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 ...
