Scientists from the Kurchatov Institute have created a permanent source of energy for pacemakers and other types of implants that generate electricity by processing glucose in the blood. TASS With reference to the press service of the institute.
Institute experts noted that the development is compatible with body tissues. Scientists have also chosen a safe way to introduce the generator into the body through the bloodstream – using stenting.
Typically, pacemakers and neurostimulators are powered by batteries that need to be replaced periodically and require surgery each time. The device, developed at the Kurchatov Institute, constantly generates energy and will be able to extend the operation of such devices without surgical intervention, without the need for replacement.
South Korean engineers created ultrasonic charging for implants in the human body. Scientists from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology have proposed to transmit energy using an ultrasonic emitter, similar to an ultrasound machine, and to receive the energy using a triboelectric generator, which produces current under the action of friction.
