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

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

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

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

For over 150 years, scientists have known that wounds alter electric fields across skin cells, says cell biologist Min Zhao of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. But they didn’t ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientists in Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking, label-free method to identify aging human cells using electric fields. This new technique avoids the downsides of chemical tagging, which can ...

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body's nervous system. This ...

One of the most ambitious projects in the new frontier of electric aviation is the Flying Fuel Cell concept, a hydrogen-electric hybrid system being actively pursued by several European aerospace ...

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