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.

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), ...

This is because such electric signalling is involved in antibiotic uptake and leads to some bacteria surviving antibiotic exposure. In the study published in Advanced Science, scientists at the ...

Targeting a single nerve promotes healing in rats with chronic intestinal inflammation. Can the same strategy work in humans?

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

Insurers are no longer treating electrical problems as background noise. As loss data and real time monitoring sharpen their ...

Scientists at the Carney Institute for Brain Science have discovered specific patterns of electrical signals in the brain that may help forecast whether a person will go on to develop Alzheimer’s ...

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 ...

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