This work opens the door to a new class of battery-free #bioelectronic implants โ including pacemakers, neuromodulators for #brain diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinsonโs disease, and continuous biosensors.
It can wirelessly power deep-tissue medical implants safely โ without bulky batteries or invasive surgery.
This ultra-small device (๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐) can be needle-injected and harvests energy from low-frequency magnetic fields, converting it into electrical power.

In this episode, we discuss how Circulatronics could enable:
restoration of vision,
treatment of devastating neurological diseases,
new approaches for terminal brain cancers,
and a future where humans could transcend beyond biological limitations!
The documentary highlights Circulatronics: tiny, sub-cellular-scale, wireless electronicsโbillion times smaller than grain of riceโdesigned to circulate through body fluids, autonomously recognize diseased regions, cross blood-brain-barrier & self-implant, eliminating the need for invasive surgery.
In โChris McCausland: Seeing into the Future,โ Chris McCauslandโan English comedian and actor who lost his eyesight in his early twentiesโexplores how emerging technologies can profoundly transform human life.
Thrilled to share the #BBC documentary featuring our technology, #Circulatronics โ a new paradigm of #Autonomous, #SurgeryFree #BCI.

Indeed โ #Circulatronics is a new generation of electronics that can circulate through body fluids โ with the versatility to interface seamlessly with living systems creating #brain-#computer symbiosis.
โโโ โ
In a recent feature, the Museum of Science, Boston described our technology as โ#Stranger than #Science #Fiction.โ
This platform opens the door to unprecedented capabilities for treating devastating brain diseases, and to making life-saving neurotechnology accessible to all.
Excited to share the recent #CNN feature of our research showcasing #Circulatronics โ a new class of biohybrid #BCI technology that defies the need for surgery.

What if brain implants didnโt require brain surgery? ๐ง ๐งช
Deblina Sakar from @medialab.bsky.social is creating brain implants that are a million times smaller than a grain of rice, so tiny, they can bypass surgery altogether.
Such technologies will reshape how we treat #brain diseases, mental illnesses, blindness and #cancer, and even how we augment human abilities.
I discussed our journey in the recent interview with the Museum of Science. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi9l...
Our work shows how the fusion of #nano-#electronics and biology can remove the barriers of cost, invasiveness, and surgical complexity, which currently prevents millions from getting treatment โ opening a new era of #accessible #healthcare.
Some of our most passionate supporters are parents who have turned unimaginable loss into purpose โ helping us build a future where others donโt have to face the same pain.

Also, in pre-clinical studies, our customized electrical stimulation is shown to halt the progression of terminal brain cancers, where even drugs or radiation have failed. This can significantly increase expected survival, bringing new rays of hope to patients and families.
The autonomous and surgery-free therapeutic nanoelectronics, we built, can navigate through the bodyโs natural pathways to self-implant in diseased brain regions previously considered inaccessible.
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
DIPG affects a delicate region of the brain thatโs challenging to reach surgically, and current treatments offer very limited hope.
