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

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

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

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play a role in how cells communicate and sense their surroundings.

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 ...
