Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...
New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...
The plasma membrane is what isolates the cell’s interior from its surroundings. It is made up of a lipid bilayer and other macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and membrane proteins, ...
