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), ...

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

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 ...

A new multi-channel in vitro stimulator helps researchers study how cells respond to electrical signals, advancing insights in neuroscience and regenerative medicine. (Nanowerk News) While we usually ...
