Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

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

What if living organisms could perform some of the tasks handled by silicon chips? New research suggests fungal systems can exhibit memory-like electrical behavior, opening the door to unconventional, ...

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 ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

Editor’s Note: This story contains themes of depression and suicide. Researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School have begun a four-year research project with the intent of using ...

A team of scientists have measured electrical activity in a spruce forest during a partial solar eclipse. They report that signals within and between trees appear to synchronize in the course of the ...

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.

An international research team led by Prof. Dr. Sedat Nizamoğlu from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering ...

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

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 ...
