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 ...

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

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Living cells pay a hidden energy price not just to run chemical reactions, but to keep them on track and block all the ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

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

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 ...

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