University of Chicago researchers have developed an ultra-lightweight, paper-thin, catheter-delivered cardiac pacemaker. Tested on a live pig, the pacemaker successfully regulated the heartbeat via tiny pulses of light. The design permits adjustments to the pacing as well as location of heart stimulation.
