Wireless implantable medical devices (IMDs) are hamstrung by both size and efficiency required for wireless power transfer. Here, Zaeimbashi et al. present a magnetoelectric nano-electromechanical systems that can harvest energy and sense weak magnetic fields like those arising from neural activity.
