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 ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new way of telling "aged" human cells apart from younger ones using electric fields. While key markers have been found for these ...

Electric cell‐substrate impedance sensing is a label-free, real-time technique that quantifies cellular behaviours by measuring changes in electrical impedance across microelectrode arrays. By ...

Scientists have developed a fuel cell system which they say could ultimately have enough energy capacity to power regional electric aircraft. They state that the technology is capable of carrying over ...

(Nanowerk News) The humble membranes that enclose our cells have a surprising superpower: They can push away nano-sized molecules that happen to approach them. A team including scientists at the ...
