Breakthrough Research Could Lead to Tiny Wireless Medical Implants

Current electronic medical implants are an impressive feat of modern science, but the large batteries and difficult recharging processes dictate their use and placement in the body.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new method for transferring power into the body, which could lead to tiny, wireless medical implants no larger than a grain of rice

Ada Poon, lead researcher and assistant professor of electrical engineering at Stanford, created a new way to control electromagnetic waves inside the body, combining the characteristics of near-field and far-field waves. Read more...
