A pacemaker that never needs a battery replacement could soon become reality, thanks to a device that generates its own electricity from the very heartbeat it regulates. University of ...

Millions of people have benefited from pacemakers since the first one was implanted in 1958, but the basics facets of the design have remained unchanged. These devices are still battery-operated, with ...

A team of University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers has developed an implantable, battery-free pacemaker that's charged by a patient's heartbeat. The device has the potential to last an entire ...

A pacemaker inside the heart has very little room for anything extra. Yet its largest burden is often the battery, which can run out years before a patient’s need for pacing ends. A University of ...

Heartbeats could one day help power something beyond hearts. A pacemaker is a device that helps regulate abnormal heart rates using electrical pulses. Leadless pacemakers, which are placed in the ...

"Mechanical and electrical energy are linked and can be exchanged back and forth," said lead study author Babak Nazer, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington in ...
