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.
Historically, researchers impaled giant squid, snail, and frog axons with electrodes to study nerve function by measuring ion channels. Today, electrophysiologists have enhanced their ability to ...
