Perception does not always match health impact, especially over time. Small habit changes can slowly increase intake without notice. Awareness of where…

In 2021, Igor Efimov, a professor of biomedical engineering and cardiology at Chicago’s Northwestern University, developed the first dissolvable pacemaker with his colleagues.“We were motivated by an unmet need: children born with congenital heart defects,” Efimov told IEEE Spectrum. So, he and his team further miniaturized their original design and created the world’s tiniest known pacemaker. It’s smaller than a grain of rice, can be implanted with a minimally invasive injection, and dissolves when it is no longer needed. Pacemakers electrically stimulate cardiac muscles to control heart rates, with many patients only requiring them for short-term heart problems following surgery. For babies born with…
