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.

Researchers at the University of Warwick have found bacteria can be detected in minutes by zapping them with electricity. Scientists at the university in the United Kingdom discovered healthy bacteria ...

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

The electrical signals emitted by the human body tell us a lot about what’s going on inside. But getting those signals inside your microcontroller is not straightforward: the voltages are too small ...
