Scientists Say the Constant Motion of Living Cells Could Be a Hidden Source of Electrical Power
The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.
Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...
