The main idea is that by making bioelectronics small enough to fit through a catheter we can use a vascular neurosurgical approach to avoid open surgery and hit hard-to-reach targets like spinal cord.
This is hard to do because we need a way to deliver data and power to a millimeter-sized implant deep within tissue. We discussed in a recent review, magnetoelectric (ME) materials have many advantages for solving this problem: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
