◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building implantable devices, your battery supplier just became a critical dependency and a potential blocker - ITEN's 20-minute wireless recharge window and 600 Wh/L density are now the performance bar you'll need to hit or match, and EU-backed funding means this is moving fast.
