What a brilliant change to artificial hearts . A levitating disk to prevent mechanical wear . Genius
-
incredible, long live science!
-
Thank you I feel hope now for a future

HIGH VOLTAGE
-
I really hope this works!!!
-
Wow that's great achievement in medical history ❤
-
I wonder how the artificial heart adjusts its output?
-
Please compare and contrast this to other other type of mechanical hearts, and other approaches like Xenotransplantation inserting pig heart genetically edited to lack porcine endogenous retroviruses (and sometimes using Blastocyte complimentation to grow HUMAN hearts within pigs from iPS cells inserted into pig embryos )..or cardiac gene therapy to induce angiogenesis..or 3D printed heart grown from stem cells and media etc etc.

40years to figure out a magnetic motor is the key?
-
i heard they were doing nothing completely 24/7 when they came up with this invention? Nice!

we live in a clown world

It's going to cost an arm and a leg.
-
