U-M researchers are developing injectable radios
U-M researchers are developing implantable radios. That could mean big advances in medical devices like pacemakers and health monitoring sensors.
Yeah, it brings to mind creepy science Fiction movies, but U-M researchers are developing implantable radios. And that could mean big advances in medical devices like pacemakers and health monitoring sensors.
