For over 150 years, scientists have known that wounds alter electric fields across skin cells, says cell biologist Min Zhao of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. But they didn’t ...

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body's nervous system. This ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

The human body is a veritable cellular highway with up to 37 trillion cells traveling about and carrying out all essential life functions, from taking in nutrients and converting them to energy, to ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that electrical currents may make natural killer (NK) cells—our very own cancer-killing immune cells—even better killers, which could have significant implications for ...

NASA's planned fuel cell may be large, but it should still be cheaper to launch than a traditional battery.

Siemens has partnered with hydrogen fuel cell developer FuelCell Energy to support the development of fuel cell-based power ...

Animal bodies are crackling with electrical signals. Even before development is complete, electric fields guide the movement and arrangement of embryonic cells. 1 In adults, neurons communicate with ...
