Scientists have developed the world’s first rice-sized dissolvable pacemaker capable of healing the heart without requiring invasive surgery. Unlike traditional pacemakers that need implantation and eventual removal, this miniature device provides temporary cardiac support and naturally dissolves in the body after completing its function.

The pacemaker is made from biodegradable materials and advanced microelectronics, allowing it to be inserted through minimally invasive procedures. Once positioned, it monitors heart rhythm and delivers precise electrical pulses to regulate the heartbeat. After its therapeutic task is complete, the device gradually breaks down into harmless compounds that are safely absorbed by the body.

Early trials have shown that the dissolvable pacemaker can effectively treat arrhythmias, reduce recovery time, and minimize complications associated with conventional pacemaker surgery. Its tiny size and temporary nature also lower the risk of infection and eliminate the need for device removal procedures.

This breakthrough marks a major advancement in cardiac care and medical technology, offering patients a safer, less invasive, and highly efficient solution for heart rhythm disorders. The rice-sized pacemaker could redefine how doctors approach cardiac therapy worldwide.

Manufacturers are all over the AI market (read #genAI), to sell solutions for #LocalLLM, finding new ways to keep people from upgrading their HW, introducing: unified memory!
Now your computer is basically a #GPU (it's called an #APU now). It's expensive, but #cooling looks good on this #miniPC at least. Forget about fixing this #motherboard on your own too, unless you are into #microelectronics.
