Scientists have invented a tiny brain implant which dissolves inside a patient’s body after monitoring temperature and blood pressure. About the size of a grain of rice, the innovative chip does away with the need for wires and surgical extraction.
The biodegradable implant technology, published in the journal Nature on Monday, has so far proven successful in the brains of rats. When placed under the skin of rats but on top of their skulls, the implants were able to monitor temperature and intracranial pressure. That information was fed wirelessly to computers, and accurately matched the readings on conventional monitors …. https://www.rt.com
