"Reducing the amount of electrical power by an order of magnitude will eventually allow for at-home brain-machine interfaces."

A new device the size of a grain of rice could electrically stimulate the brain. It could potentially help treat depression, Parkinson's, and more.

Audiologists recommend enhanced communication strategies in the time of coronavirus to help the nearly 60 million Americans living with hearing loss in one or both ears.

A new tiny, wireless device can record the activity of a single neuron in the brain. It could help in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases.

An advanced wireless technology can monitor health indicators such as blood pressure using microsensors tiny enough to be injected under the skin.

A new pacemaker membrane reduces fibrotic build-up around the implants in pigs. In people, this would simplify surgeries to replace the devices.

An implant that traps cancer cells could help doctors monitor cancer's progress and check to see if treatments are working, all without invasive biopsy.

"For everything we envision people needing or wanting to do to become independent... they really need two hands working together."

Advances in deep brain stimulation technology could make it more adaptable to the lives of people with conditions like tremors or Parkinson's disease.

Discovery could enable longer-lasting and better-functioning devices — including pacemakers, breast implants, biosensors, and drug delivery devices.
