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

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), ...

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 ...
