Abstract

Abstract : In article number1800148, Lin Dong, Zi Chen, John X. J. Zhang, and co‐workers develop a compact, modular and compliant thin film energy harvester on a cardiac pacemaker lead which converts mechanical motion to electrical power. The device could enable self‐charging batteries to ultimately power pacemakers and other implantable biomedical devices. It provides a new paradigm for biomedical energy harvesting in vivo.
