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 ...

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 ...

Studies have shown that cells respond to electric fields; electrotaxis is when cells are moving under the influence of an electric field. Electrotaxis is thought to be involved in several important ...

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

Quantum biological electron transfer (QBET) is an important biological activity that is influenced by quantum mechanical factors such as electron tunneling (ET). This mechanism, which includes ...

Shifts in electrical activity are known to take place in various cells in the human body, such as those in the heart that facilitate blood flow and the neurons that coordinate the many functions of ...
