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

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

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), ...

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.

Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge ...
