Implanted Carbon Nanotubes Harvest Electrical Energy from Heartbeat for Medical Implants (Adv. Mater. 32/2024)
Energy Harvesting This novel “Twistron energy cell harvester” (TECH) produces electrical energy from mechanical contraction. In vivo implantation of TECH onto the left ventricular surface in a porcine model continuously generates electrical energy from cardiac contraction. The generated electrical energy is used for direct pacing of the heart as documented by electrophysiology mapping. This energy can potentially be used for medical implants. More details can be found in article number 2313688 by Seon Jeong Kim and co-workers.
