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

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

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

Flexoelectricity, which can transform mechanical deformation into electrical signals, could provide enough power to fire ...

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...
