Studies have shown that cells respond to electric fields; electrotaxis is when cells are moving under the influence of an electric field. Electrotaxis is thought to be involved in several important ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New research suggests cell membranes may generate electrical energy through active motion, reshaping how biology powers itself.

The science of memories has been pursued and studied since the days of ancient Greece and Aristotle. Today, research ...

Princeton researchers have created a device that can herd groups of cells like sheep, precisely directing the cells’ movements by manipulating electric fields to mimic those found in the body during ...

The brain’s natural defenses can make tumors in this part of the body difficult to treat, but scientists have found some early success using electrical fields in laboratory models. The technique ...

Electricity is a key aspect of life, and is required for organisms to move and communicate. The movement of tiny charged particles called ions across the membranes that enclose cells are what ...

Quantum biological electron transfer (QBET) is an important biological activity that is influenced by quantum mechanical factors such as electron tunneling (ET). This mechanism, which includes ...

The human brain is a vast network of billions of biological cells called neurons which fires electrical signals that process information, resulting in our senses and thoughts. The ion channels of ...

CSUN’s tropical rainforest is equipped with a fuel satelite plant that generates electrical power without pollution by only using hydrogen and oxygen to operate. Photo Credit: Hannah Pedraza / Photo ...

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 ...
