Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the chaos outside. A new line of research suggests they may be far more dynamic, ...
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 ...
The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.
