MIT researchers create biodegradable batteries for ingestible medical devices

MIT researchers publish study on ingestible biodegradable batteries

2 Sep 21 · 2d ago · 1 article · 1 source · development 2 of 3

Scientists led by Giovanni Traverso at MIT published findings in Nature Chemical Engineering describing batteries made from magnesium and molybdenum trioxide that can power ingestible medical devices and safely break down in the body. The batteries generate 1.84 volts and were designed using materials safe for human consumption.
