Researchers demonstrated a method to convert terahertz spin waves into charge signals via an optical intermediate step, ...

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 ...

What will the computers of tomorrow look like? Chances are good that spintronics will play a decisive role in the next ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Epithelial conversation An epithelial cell-coated microelectrode array with 60 precisely placed electrodes detects the minute electric signals generated when the cells are injured. (Courtesy: UMass ...

A new study has furthered our understanding of plant evolution by tracking the origins of electrical signaling components that plants developed to communicate and adapt to life on land. A study led by ...
