New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...

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

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 ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...

Polymers that repel each other can spontaneously phase-separate inside artificial vesicles, like oils in a lava lamp. Interaction between droplets and the cell wall limits the size of the droplets and ...

Living bacteria embedded in silicone can absorb green LED light and re-emit it as red, offering a potential sustainable ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
