A bioresorbable magnesium–molybdenum trioxide (Mg–MoO3) paper battery delivers about 1.84 V and powers capsule-based ingestible electronics, including battery-assisted RFID for medication tracking and gastric electroceutical therapy, with in vivo swine validation showing safe gastric degradation over days and complete bioresorption—enabling retrieval-free, eco-friendly GI bioelectronics.
A Caltech-led team has developed bioresorbable acoustic microrobots (BAM) capable of targeted drug delivery within the body. These microrobots, made from a hydrogel, can navigate complex biofluids and release drugs precisely at tumor sites, as demonstrated in mice with bladder tumors. The microrobots incorporate magnetic nanoparticles for navigation and ultrasound imaging for real-time tracking. This innovation could revolutionize precision medicine by delivering therapeutic agents directly to specific sites, minimizing side effects and improving treatment efficacy.
