A wireless antenna that channels signals along human skin could broadcast signals over your body to connect up medical implants such as pacemakers or portable gadgets.
Developed at Queen’s University in Belfast, the new design’s ability to produce signals that travel along the skin makes it more efficient than existing battery-hungry technologies such as Bluetooth.
