Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the chaos outside. A new line of research suggests they may be far more dynamic, ...
Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests our cells are also quietly harvesting mechanical motion and turning it into ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...
