Wireless brain sensors developed by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are smaller than a pencil tip and can monitor intracranial pressure and temperature before being absorbed by the body, negating the need for surgery to remove the devices.
