Implants inside the body can use a skin charger to be charged

Chinese scientists have developed a wireless charger with the aim of charging implants inside the body, in which zinc and magnesium are used in amounts less than the body needs per day and can be decomposed in the body.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, researchers from Lanzhou University in China have developed a type of biodegradable charger that is wireless and can safely charge implants inside the body in the future. Currently, due to the advances made in medical science, it is possible to implant bioelectronic devices such as pacemakers in the body. But the energy sources of these systems are located outside the body, and the small batteries used need to be replaced when they run out of charge.

Now, researchers at Lanjo University have implemented a simple design in which high energy can be stored, and it is also possible to adapt it to different forms of tissues and organs in different parts of the body. Inside the charger is a magnesium coil of a charger and a zinc-ion hybrid cloud that can work as an energy storage module. On the top of the skin, exactly at the implant site, there is a type of magnesium coil that acts as a transmitter and will help to charge the implant wirelessly.

Supercapacitors can store electrical energy themselves. Thus, when the stored energy decreases, it is possible that a high power density is created by the clouds and a large amount of energy is also discharged. According to the researchers, the amount of zinc and magnesium in these chargers is less than the daily consumption of the body, and if it is absorbed in the body, it works safely and there is no reason to worry.
