Smallest Soft Biodegradable Silk Hydrogel Battery Controls Heartbeats as Defibrillator in Mice
Oct 25, 2024, 10:22 AM
Recent advancements in bioelectronics and battery technology have led to the development of a biodegradable battery capable of controlling heartbeats. This innovative lithium-ion battery, constructed from three droplets of silk-based hydrogel, is noted for being the smallest soft battery of its kind. Researchers have demonstrated its potential to function as a defibrillator or pacemaker in ex vivo tests on mouse hearts. The implications of this technology extend to powering biodegradable, minimally invasive medical implants and devices, marking a significant step forward in bio-integrated technology.
