Scientists have developed a new device, a coffee-cup-sized prototype of a surgically implantable artificial kidney which uses a silicon nanofilter. The device functions like a human kidney and can remove toxins, salts and other molecules from the blood. The new development could be a promising alternative to kidney transplantation or dialysis. It is designed to function with help of blood pressure and without electrical power.
