MIT engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day provide a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

A newly developed portable, point-of-care PET technology can image any organ, delivering high-quality results to guide interventional procedures.
