What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signalling that causes the trap to snap shut.

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Electrical signalling plays a pivotal role in how plants perceive and respond to their environment. Rapid electrical impulses, including action potentials (APs) and slower variation potentials (VPs), ...

Human beings and other animals send electrical signals via the central nervous system. The Venus flytrap, which lacks such a nervous system, also sends rapid electrical impulses, which are generated ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

A new skin-like sensor developed by an international team led by researchers at Penn State could help doctors monitor vital signs more accurately, track healing after surgery and even help patients ...

Qubits -- the fundamental units of quantum information -- drive entire tech sectors. Among them, superconducting qubits could be instrumental in building a large-scale quantum computer, but they rely ...
