Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

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

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

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