Did you know that one in four men suffer from low testosterone, but 90% of men in the UK suffering from low testosterone remain undiagnosed. It's time to change that. With Manual, manual puts top doctors and a world-class testosterone service at your fingertips. If you have low energy, weight gain or low sex drive, it could be a sign of low

some of the more interesting, intriguing, and cool stories from around the world and throughout

history. I'm Reggie Rizu alongside Marcus

1:11.9

Paff on today's episode, a pacemaker that can fit inside the tip of a syringe, and scientists

1:18.4

discover two alternatives to Osepic. On this day in history, France adopts the metric system.

1:23.9

That's all coming up on cool stuff. Turning now to Science Daily and new research out of Northwestern University, where

1:30.3

engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe,

1:37.3

believe it or not, and be non-invasively injected into the body.

1:42.3

Now, although it can work with hearts of all sizes, the pacemaker is particularly well suited to the tiny, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital heart defects.

Smaller than a single grain of rice, the pacemaker is paired with a small, soft, flexible, wireless, wearable device that mounts onto a patient's chest to control

2:02.9

pacing. When the wearable device detects an irregular heartbeat, it automatically shines a light

2:08.3

pulse to activate the pacemaker. These short pulses, which penetrate through the patient's skin,

2:14.3

breastbone and muscles, control the pacing. Designed for patients who only need

2:18.7

temporary pacing, the pacemaker simply dissolves after it's no longer needed. All the pacemaker's

2:24.6

components are biocompatible, so they naturally dissolve into the body's biofluids
