Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...
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 ...
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, ...
Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...
