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

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

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

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

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

We established that Onsager’s principle of reciprocity is violated for the cell model of an ion–exchange membrane —the coupled cross kinetic coefficients are not equal. It is crucial when considering ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

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