Chinese scientists have created a special wireless energy system that can be used in medical implants and medicines. This new system is unique because it’s eco-friendly and can dissolve in the body.
The system is made to fit different body shapes. It has a coil made of magnesium and a power storage part called a supercapacitor made from zinc ions. In tests on rats, this system worked well for 10 days and then slowly dissolved over two months.
This special design solves the problem of implants staying in the body for a long time. It’s a better option for medical use. The magnesium coil collects wireless energy, so no batteries are needed. Also, the zinc-ion supercapacitors store and use energy very well.
This discovery is a big step in making medical devices that are better for the environment and for patients. Successful tests on animals show this technology could be used in future medical devices.
