“What they learn in the downstream systems, I take advantage of at the injector,” Dian says. “They transferred what they learned in my section to the other team leads, and the other leads were able to improve their sections because of that.”,Even as the installation was underway, Tan had to constantly integrate...

Depending on the patient, a temporary pacemaker might be needed anywhere from a couple days to several weeks. By varying the composition and thickness of the materials in the device, Rogers’ team can control the precise number of days it remains functional before dissolving.,“There is clearly a need for better ...
