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 energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

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

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

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

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

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a ...
