Our work on soft artificial hearts highlighted in the media

Media coverage on how Nicholas Cohrs, PhD student in the Functional Materials Laboratory, developed and tested a soft artificial heart.

Nicholas Cohrs from the Functional Materials Laboratory has developed a silicone heart that beats almost like a human heart. In collaboration with Anastasios Petrou, a doctoral student of the Product Development Group Zurich, led by Professor Mirko Meboldt the performance of this soft artificial heart was evaluated.
