A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Duke University has created a new kind of tissue that can change heart activity using only light—no wires, no surgery, no harm. This groundbreaking ...

Heart cockles (Corculum cardissa) are bivalve molluscs a bit like clams that have a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae that live inside them. The algae have a safe home, get light to ...

These congenital heart defects affect the organ's lower ... thin tube with a light-emitting tip. To activate the light-sensitive hydrogel inside the shunt, they intend for surgeons to insert ...

she and her colleagues conclude that the structure of the heart cockle's shell operates as its own kind of fiber optic cables to channel light to the algae living inside it. It's a finding that ...

For the current study, the researchers used UT’s e-tattoo design to develop a device that could operate inside the ... who used light to monitor and control heart rhythm (optocardiography ...

Stanford University and Duke University has found that heart cockles have windows in their shells to allow in light needed by the algae that live inside the shells. Heart cockles are bivalve ...

February is heart month, and technology is making it easier to self-monitor heart health. About one in five Americans use a wearable smart device, most often on their wrist or finger, according to ...

A beating pig heart on Jan. 21, 2025, at the University of Minnesota's Visible Heart Lab in Minneapolis. At the U's heart lab, millions of dollars of tubing and wires and technology work to keep a ...

They extend from the valve leaflets to small muscles, called papillary muscles, which are part of the inside walls of the ventricles. The pulmonary artery takes oxygen-poor blood from the heart to ...

Not only are the devices bulky and inflexible; the shocks they deliver also stimulate pain receptors in the heart. To improve on this design, Gutruf’s team explored an approach based on optogenetic ...

Heart of Inmost Light has emerged as one of the strongest, ability-focused Titan Exotics since the launch of the revamped Light subclasses and most notably Arc 3.0. Holding the key to enhancing ...
