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 ...

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

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