Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests ...

The production of clean hydrogen through water electrolysis is a promising route toward emission-free and sustainable energy ...

Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

IDH-mutant glioma, caused by abnormalities in a specific gene (IDH), is the most common malignant brain tumor among young ...

For decades, weight loss drugs have tried to coax the body into burning more energy, but the most aggressive approaches have ...

Cells have a remarkable housekeeping system: proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular “tag” and dismantled in the cellular recycling machinery ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. The work is published in the journal PNAS Nexus. Pradeep ...

Efficient battery management becomes increasingly important as demand for portable power continues to rise, especially since balanced cells help ensure safety, high performance, and a longer battery ...
