Dual-energy device unlocks potential for wireless medical implants

The future of implantable devices is evolving, and there is an increased desire for wireless technology to power them.

“Our device may unlock next-generation biomedical applications because it can generate 300 percent higher power than the current state-of-the-art devices,” said Bed Poudel, research professor at Penn State and co-author of the study. The magnetic field and ultrasound energy often work at lower frequencies and might be used to charge implants wirelessly.The devices employ a sophisticated two-step process to convert magnetic field energy into electricity. The first layer, magnetostrictive, plays a crucial role by transforming a magnetic field into stress.
