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

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

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

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...
