Critical research and scholarship happens every day at Northwestern, much of it fueled by federal funding.

Through our cutting-edge work, we experiment together, push boundaries and open new lines of inquiry—the results can be lifesaving.

Northwestern engineers have developed what they believe is the world’s smallest pacemaker. 💜

Smaller than a grain of rice, the pacemaker is paired with a small, flexible, wireless, wearable device that mounts onto a patient’s chest to control pacing: https://t.co/y8RPBFpDId
