Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Cells bumping against one another use electricity to identify which of their neighbors has the least energy to expel them. The King's College London study in partnership with the Francis Crick ...
